It's very time consuming to maintain an up to date links page for the day

I'm getting fairly good at adding new links for you each day but I'm still not deleting ones on time that I should be deleting that no longer have the readership. So, it's a combination right now. It's just that HTML HREF lines of code can be very tedious to maintain especially when the older legacy code (not available right now) here at blogger.com did all this work automatically for me in the past. So, I have to copy href code and then change the URLs and texts that you actually read. And then find which ones aren't being read as much and then delete those lines of code. But, in order to do this effectively I either have to print out a page of the code or use two computers to have it all make sense because you have to see two different versions of everything to make sense of what you are actually doing with the code. 

Once again if you are a blogger here at blogger.com and want to maintain a most read links page on a daily basis like I try to do, you first have to get a workable template of HREF code and then all you have to do is to make copies of this while you are in HTML mode NOT compose mode. So, then you change the code to the new URLs and the new text you want your readers to read and to click on when it loads. By making copies of proven workable HREF lines of code all you then have to do is to change out the URLs and the text which become the word button links to your URLs. But you have to do this all in HTML mode not compose mode or it won't load properly.
