    It's a list of links to other blogs, usually in the same niche. They are often used for link exchanges, but some people just put blogs they like in their blogroll.

    You can also change the wording from " Blogroll " to anything else you like in your WordPress admin.

    If you are using latest wordpress, then for adding links go to write > link and add details..
    if you wish to modify any link then go to manage and then click link and edit it.

    A blog roll is that fat that builds up on you gut when you sit all day blogging. :D

    No seriously, it is just the links on your blog. You can name them anything you want.

    You can add any kind of graphics if you have a code. Go to design>widgets> add text and enter the code wherever you want it..
