Linking to Buddy Links pages

[Nancy]

I just signed up for Buddy Links and am slightly confused
as to the linking procedures. Should I place a visible
link on my home page to my Buddy Links pages?
Could I use something like this:
<a href="http://www.xxxxx.com/xxx">.</a>

Thanks for any feedback. Awesome program.

Invisible (1 pixel gif) links are fine with me. We just need to get the spider to follow the trail of food to find the buddy links pages.

Is it sufficient to only link to the first buddy page? Meaning can you place 1 1x1 image and link it to the first buddy page? And do that only? Or do you need to link to all of them?
