    The meta widget was removed by Staff recently. There are no plans to restore it.

    You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

    I recommend bookmarking that link or memorizing it.

    For creating links in a text widget see:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/text-widget-links/
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/

    If you are not adept at coding then create a draft post that you will later delete and do the link creation in it. After you use the Visual editor click into the HTML editor and copy and paste the content into a text widget.

    See the guide for creating links in posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

    This is the general link model:

    <a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>

    This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
    Highlighted anchor text here

    1. Enter the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “here” is not a good choice. Use relevant anchor text to link to.
    2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
    3. Next, click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.

    NOTE: Widgets are displayed in footer areas or sidebars only. Note: Widgets have visibility settings https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget- that determine which pages they display on.

    You can also use the three dots on the bar in the lower right corner to log in. Here’s a screenshot:

    If you don’t see that little menu with the dots, scroll up a little bit to make it reappear :)
