Linking a blog

[Chimera]

Ok this is my first experience in looking at linking up a blog. I ran into a couple of road blocks and if anyone can assist let me know.
What I found when looking for linktrades was required link codes on some blogs look like the links for the front page of a free site link table. Great for free sites and tgps but eeks they don't quite fit in the format of my blog|badidea| .
Second was types of blogs it is tough to find the right link trades to make since mine depends heavily on text links and occasional thumb gallery links and is very wordy, it is not a splog and linking with one would probably not benefit either of us.
So.... any assistance in the right direction to take would be greatly appreciated.
