  Create two categories: Baseball card blogs, and entertainment blogs, then assign your blogroll links to whichever one they belong to. Voila – two blog rolls.

  Thanks for the reply.

  I do have two categories…I would like many more but in my arranged order from top to bottom but WordPress seems to only go by alphabetical.

  blogroll is arranged alphabetically. if you want more freedom with your links, try using a text widget instead.

  Oh wow, can you put HTML in text widgets?

  You can put HTML in a text widget, yes. Not all HTML, but everything you need to create what you would like to see.

  Yeah, thanks. I have been playing with the HTML pretty much all day.
  Somehow WordPress just because even cooler.
  Thanks!

  I am trying to understand this answer. I have a similar situation. I want different several blogrolls, one for author blogs and one for teen reading blogs. Others seem to have this. How can I accomplish it. I have already set up categories but there is just one blogroll with everything in it.

  I’m sorry but we do not have multiple Links widgets.
  We have one admin area where we can enter links -> Blogroll
  When we enter links we must assign them to at least one acategory even just “Blogroll” to enable their display.
  Once we place the Links widget in our sidebar the links we entered into our Blogroll will display in alphabetical order in accord with the categories we assigned to them.
  There must be at least one Link assigned to a Category in the Blogroll in order for it to display at all.

  Exception: If you are using the Blix theme then note that it will display all links in alphabetical order, regardless of category assignment.
