  When added “links” to my sideboard it shows not only the links I created by a bunch wordpress already had set up. I tried changing the category for the links I created but when I did, it changed all the links to that category. I want only the links I have created to show up on my sideboard, how do I do that?

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

  Every theme has a default sidebar display that does not contain actual widgets. We override it when we go to > Appearance > Widgets and select widgets of our own choice and enable them.
  See http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/08/02/8-hot-wordpress-com-widget-tips/

  If you wish you create a blogroll of related sites that you recommend to your readers then you enter the links into it in your dashboard Links section and display them in a Links widget.

  Thanks, the links I was adding were showing up, but so were a bunch of of others. I finally figured out how to change categories and get only the ones I wanted to appear on the sidebar.
