blogrolls
Curated site links
Blogrolls are lists of links to other blogs, typically displayed in a sidebar.
Common in the early blogging era, they served as recommendations and created networks of mutual linking among bloggers with shared interests: Her blogroll introduced me to a dozen great food blogs.
The practice has declined as social media replaced personal blogs.
