  I’d like to remove links under certain lists and add others without losing everything I have in my sidebar in the primary widget category under ‘links’. In the past I could pull up the list and simply add and remove items. How do I do that now?
  Thanks for any help.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello –

  Widgets can be edited from My Sites > Themes > Customize > Widgets
  Or use this direct link:
  https://wordpress.com/customize/quiltpaintcreate.wordpress.com

  Let me know if you need further help with anything.

  Thanks. That helped some.
  In years past I could pull up my list of links and edit them individually, adding and deleting links as desired. Is there still a way to do that? I was able to hide my old blog roll and add the list of blogs I follow, but it is limited to other WordPress blogs. How can I get non- WordPress blogs on that list?
  Would upgrading to a paid blog give me more flexibility?

  There is not a way to automatically list the non-wordpress.com blogs that you follow. We do not have a designated widget to do this.

  You could definitely keep a small list of your favorite blogs in your sidebar by manually adding them to a text widget. You’d have the flexibility to edit that list any time you want.

  You can still manage your Blogroll. Here’s how: https://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/add-a-blogroll-link/
