  I am trying to put links (with names of WP blog titles or outside urls) into to side bar and have title of: ‘Important and Interesting Reads.’ It seems the html used does not link to the blog and if a few are listed one under the other, only one is live — which says site not available. The blog is — I put the url of the blog into the address line and it connected. Please help me accomplish this. Thanks.

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

  Hello,

  If I understand your issue correctly, I would recommend you to use the Visual editor to create all the links listed, then switch to HTML and copy the code from there to a Text Widget that you should add to your sidebar.

  You can find detailed instructions on how to do it, here:
  support.wordpress.com/links/text-widget-links

  When you Add a new Text Widget, you can type “Important and Interesting Reads” to its Title field.

  Hope it helps,
  Gina
