  I am trying to organize my links into categories. I have placed both the link and category widget into my sidebar but all that shows on my page is a list of “links” and under “categories” it says uncategorized. Any suggestions much appreciated.
  Cheers

  (1) Categories are created here -> Manage -> Categories -> Add New
  (2) Links are entered here -> Blogroll -> Add Link

  All wordpress.com blogs have only one Blogroll located in the Admin area where you enter all links and assign each link to one or more Categories.

  The links you enter into your Blogroll are displayed only after the Links widget is placed in your sidebar. Also note that there must be at least one link assigned to a Category before it will appear in your sidebar.

  Likewise, the Category widget must be placed in the sidebar for posts to display. And just like links when it comes to posts there must be at least one published post in a Category before the Category will be displayed in your sidebar.

  Once your Links widget and Categories widget are positioned in your sidebar, the manner in which the links you entered into your Blogroll will be displayed is alphabetically in accord with the Categories you created and assigned to those links when you entered them into your Blogroll.

  Therefore as you will have multiple Categories it may look like you have multiple Blogrolls when you view your links in your sidebar. But in truth, you only have only one Blogroll, which is displays links as separate alphabetically ordered groups, in accord with the Categories that you assigned to those links when you entered them into your Blogroll.

  Please see: the FAQs to learn how to set up and configure your blog’s widgets.

  * Also note that the foregoing does not apply to the Blix theme which is hard-coded to display all links in one alphabetically organized row.

  A link to your blog would have helped so we can see what is occuring.

  You solved it with the *Blix note. Thanks for all the help. I really appreciate it. Next time I will remember to send a link, but hopefully there won’t be a next time. Cheers.
