  I added a new link list and a iink to it . With the url and the title as directed on the add links page. I did the same to the pre created list called “blogroll.’ None of the listings showed up as links on the blog. Half didn’t even appear at all.

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

  According to the Adaption theme support page, “On smaller screens, menus and widgets hide behind a sliding panel that can be toggled open by clicking the gear icon.” However, I found that clicking on the gear icon did not reveal your widgets. They remained hidden on every page and post I visited on your site, unless I zoomed out at least one click with the latest Firefox browser. I’ve got a relatively small screen (12 X 9 inches, set at 1024 X 768 pixels).

  I found a couple of external links in the left sidebar under the heading “Real Climate.” Could that be your blogroll?

  To clarify what I said above. Your left and right sidebars are both entirely absent until I zoom out one click on my monitor with the specs noted. And the clicking on the gear tab does not reveal them.

  Thanks.Yes, I can’t figure out why (though I am not very good at figuring this out.) But they are all absent.

  I did an experiment and added real climate and another blog to the “links” list under the “blogroll” heading in my Admin panel (and put in the URL for each.) Now the real climate shows up as a stand alone phrase, no link, atop two “links”” that were put there automatically by wordpress. The other one doesn’t evem show up.

  I had also done a longer list of several links that I gave some title to (maybe “information sources” or something like that.) And it doesn’t show up anywhere. That’s why I only tried two more under blogroll. And again, neither show up except for the name of one, no link, but as some list heading. Under links in my admin and under widgets, it all looks correct.

  But it is clearly not correct.
