  I have 3 blogs on wordpress.com and although I have added the links
  for my blogroll and they are there on the page they are not showing up
  on the front page of the site.
  What am I doing wrong please?
  tks.

  Have you put the LINKS widget into the sidebar? That’s what WP calls the blogroll, which is silly and counterproductive. They should just call it Blogroll! Also, the individual entries have to be categorized as “Blogroll” or something else, some subdivision like “Good Blogs” “Funny Sites” etc, or they won’t show up.

  @charade
  Aside from what raincoaster has pointed out every link you add to your blogroll must be assigned to a category, even just “blogroll” to display after the Links widget is placed in your sidebar.
  understanding your blogroll, links widget and categories

  Thanks to all – I spent an hour trying to get the blogroll to show up (and why it appeared in some themes but not others) but no luck until I found the forums and this topic.
