  Hi,

  I have an issue with my blog http://zhidaobu.net
  I cannot remove the Blogroll part and the different links under it.
  I use the theme Oxygen and I didn’t suscribe any paid option concerning design.
  I already removed the widget called “Blogroll” but no effect.
  Can anyone help me please?

  Thanks :)

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

  Have you tried putting it under the ‘Inactive Widgets’

  When you haven’t added any widgets yourself, the theme displays a default set of sidebar items. To remove them, you add the ones you prefer (in your case, in the “Secondary Sidebar”).

  Thanks Justpi, but what if I don’t want widgets for now? I checked in all the different sidebars and I still don’t know how to remove it. I wish I could post a screenshot to show it.
  and yes dickiebo, I already tried to put the widget in inactive Widgets… doesn’t work :/
  So it’s written Blogroll, and then some wordpress links
  BLOGROLL

  The sidebar on Oxygen isn’t optional. The only way to remove it and widen the main column would be via CSS editing (if you had the Custom Design upgrade). If you want no widgets at all you could add an empty Text widget or RSS widget: in that case the sidebar would be empty – but it would still be there, so the layout would look wrong. So, as I said, you have to add something visible to that sidebar.
