  I would really like to add a “links” or a “blogroll” to the side of my “Dusk” themed blog, but everything in the second column disappears when I try to add the widget. Any advice?

  Can we have a link to your wordpress.com blog? The one linked in your username is not a wp.com blog.

  I think you may be using the default sidebar. If you add a widget, you have to rebuild the sidebar by adding the proper widgets.

  Thank you for replying!

  Here is my WordPress blog:

  I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying about rebuilding the sidebar. What other widgets should I add so that the blogroll widget will function properly when I add it?

  Actually, I think I understand now.

  What you mean is that, if I add one widget that wasn’t on the default sidebar, all the default widgets reset. Meaning that if I manually add “Links,” I also have to manually add “Pages,” “Archives,” “Search,” etc. I wasn’t aware of that. Thank you!

  Thank you for pointing out that my username links to the blog I put in my information, as well. I’m really just a beginner here, it seems.
