  I cannot figure out how to make my blogroll appear. I suspect that it is something stupid that I have overlooked.

  Are all of your links assigned to a category?

  No. How do I do that? I said that I am far from expert in this.

  Michael, I assume that you have already specified the links in your blogroll and just want to display them. To do this:

  1. Make a category for your links as follows:

  Go to My Dashboard -> Manage -> Categories.

  Click on “add new” to make a new category called, for example “blogroll”.

  2. Assign your links to this new category as follows:

  Go to My Dashboard -> Options -> Writing.

  In this, you will find an entry called default bookmark category. Select “blogroll” and hit the “Update Options” button.

  3. Enable the blog to display your blogroll as follows:

  Go to My Dashboard -> Presentation -> Widgets.

  Drag the Links button from the menu at the bottom and drop it into the side-bar. For your theme, the side-bar is probably called the bottom-bar. Hit the “Save Changes” button.
  ———————-
  When you view your site after these steps, your blogroll should show up in your bottom-bar.

  Happy blogging,
  Polaris.
