  Uh, not until you learn English better.

  WordPress.com doesn’t currently support this; Tumblr and Blogspot do.

  This isn’t a support question any more as it has been answered. I’m flagging this thread so our Moderators can move it to the Ideas forum.

  Geez, raincoaster. no need to be rude

  I too, believe that this would be a nice feature. Sure Blogger and Tumblr have it, but we’re WordPress bloggers. I personally prefer WordPress over Blogger from my own experience

  I think it would be yet another widget loaded with links that will appear on every one of my pages. As some search engines stop indexing when they reach around 100 links on any page I’m vigilant and may not choose to post such a widget if it is introduced.

  Having said that I wonder what criteria others use for choosing to install widgets. Widgets generally accomplish one or more of the following things:
  1. improve the functionality of a site by providing reader accessibility to content that is not located on the front page;
  2. act as leaders for e-commerce or other transactions; (not appilcable to wordpress.com blogs)
  3. promote and lead traffic to the site serving the widget.

  My rule of thumb is that if a widget does not enrich my reader’s experience by providing reader accessibility to content that is not located on the front page of my blog don’t install it. I make an exception for the feejit widget as it plus my sitemeter reports provide me with the information I need ie. which posts visitors are entering my blog on and which posts they are exiting the blog on.
