  Hi,
  Can any one please let me know how to place a custom link on the side bar, clicking on which it’ll redirect to a another page. I tried using the widgets but none of them came to rescue.

  Thanks
  Best Regards

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

  You can use a text widget to display links, simple text, images, tables, CSS styled HTML, or a combination.

  hi,
  Thanks…
  i used Text widget to do this and created a new page to link with it. But this new page is appearing in the main menu also (along with About Us, Home….).
  I dont want this newly created link to appear in the main menu but it should only appear in the sidebar.
  Please tell me how can i do this.

  Is this the blog you are referring to: http://reachnareshk.wordpress.com/

  (I don’t see a text widget link to any page)
  Here is information about hiding pages:

  If you want to change themes, some themes do not show header links:

  Make the page you are talking about a child of another page and it will then not show in the top navigation. Then edit the link in the text widget to reflect the URL of that child page.
