blogroll
Recommended reading links
A blogroll is a list of links to other blogs, typically displayed in a sidebar.
Common in the early blogging era, blogrolls served as recommendations and community-building—a way of saying "these are the voices I read and trust." Her blogroll introduced me to a dozen writers I still follow.
The practice has faded as social media replaced personal blogs.
