Links page
-
How to display a page with links, similar to the widget but as a page. With the same options as the widget would be great. Im my opinion the widget itself doesn’t really make sense as with more than say 3 categories and 6 links it gets too large.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Here is how to create a page https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and embed links https://en.support.wordpress.com/links/ into it.
For embedding links in post and pages this is the general link model:
<a href="URL HERE">Highlighted anchor text here</a>This is the visual result – it’s not actually linked here in the forum.
Highlighted anchor text here1. In the Visual editor type the relevant descriptive anchor text you want to link to first. Note that “click here” is not a good choice, relevant anchor text matters. ;)
https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/relevant-anchor-text-matters/2. Then use your mouse to highlight that anchor text. (If you don’t highlight the anchor text the chain icon will remain grayed out and not be useable.)
3. Next click the chain icon in the editor and proceed to create the link.
Are you referring to https://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/ and http://support.wordpress.com/widgets/links-widget/ ?

Thank you for your answer, I understand the concept of inserting a link.
I am using the function “Links” with in the WP Admin. There you can create categories and add links.
These links can be added via a widget. However I would like to embed these links in a page, which makes more sense when having say 10+ links.
Is there a way to accomplish that?

Yes. You create a page and manually embed each link as I described here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/links-page?replies=3#post-2482483

I see, thank you for your help. I was hoping for something simpler such as the links widget. cheers!
