  Hi! I’m new here and am experimenting with widgets in an effort to organize the links on my sidebar. I’m wondering if it’s possible to separate my links under categories such as ‘Family Blogs,” “Friends Blogs,” “Favorite Sites,” etc. The headings I created show up on my sidebar, with the websites I typed in, but they don’t hyperlink. What am I doing wrong? TIA for any help.

  When you insert a link in your Blogroll here -> Dashboard -> Blogroll -> Add link you also assign a category to the link. When you place your Links Widget in the sidebar it will display the links in alphabetical order in accord with the Categories you assigned to the links when you entered them into your Blogroll.

  understanding widgets and how to set them up

  As for not “hyperlinking”, provided you entered the link properly into the Blogroll example http://thisdomain.com there should be no problem. Could you please post the url for your blog so we can see what’s going on?
