Links
This section is where you can add links to outside sources and display them in the “Links” sidebar widget.
Your links can be assigned to different categories of your choosing.
Let’s say for example that your site is about travel. You may want to provide your readers with links to online travel sites like Expedia, Travelocity, etc.
You could make a category named “Travel Reservations” then place the URL addresses to the sites you want into this category.
Now, using the Widget control panel, you would now drag the “Links” widget to the sidebar you want, select the categories to be shown, and there it is… displayed in your sidebar.
WP comes with the “Blogroll” category already set up. You can change/delete the links that are already there, or not use the category altogether. You cannot delete or rename this category.
You can also sort the order of your links by assigning them a numerical value in the “Rating” column on the right side of the control panel.
NOTE: When creating a new link you have the option of adding a description. This is recommended.
The description for your link will show up when a visitor hovers their mouse over the link.
