  I cannot seem to modify the “blogroll category names” that I have my links posted in. When I hit Edit Category in the backend – it says that my category has been updated, but then I check my blog, and it has not. I have tried several times, over the course of a few days, with no luck.

  I have modified the names before and had success… but not now. Can anyone offer advice?

  Thanks,
  Wind

  Please give us a direct link to your blog, starting with http, so we can look at it.

  These are the categories I see:
  Categories

  * Free Style (5)
  * Grasping (8)
  * Haiku Inspired (31)
  * Pictures (19)

  Which ones SHOULD I be seeing? Sidebars are cached and can take up to an hour to update, btw, so maybe that’s the issue?

  Oh, duh, BLOGROLL categories. Sorry, need coffee.
  This is what I see.
  #

  #
  Poetry Blogs

  * Disposable Poetry
  * Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
  * My Poetry Blog

  What should I see instead?

  I want to change the category Poetry Blogs to just Poetry.

  Make a new blogroll category called “poetry,” and then reassign the links to that category.

  I had thought of doing it that way but wanted to see if it was a bug that other people were experiencing as well. Either way, my problem fixed. Thank you for your time :)

  Under presentation > widgets drag the links widget from the area at the bottom up and into the sidebar box and click save.
