I always prefer to just put the alias's into a file and then
source them from .bashrc.
Such as a file called ~/alias or anywhere you prefer with
your aliases :
alias ll='ls -l -a --color=tty'
alias ls='ls --color=tty'
alias reboot='/sbin/shutdown -r now'
alias md=mkdir
alias rd='rm -R'

Then in .bashrc just add the line:
source ~/alias

Just MHO,
