  If I drag the Links Widget to the sidebar. It says, “There are no options for this widget.”

  I would like there to be a link to my Website here.

  Thanks for the help.

  The links widget is not for a link to your site, because people are already ON your site. The links widget is for you to link to sites other than your own. You configure it on the Links page of your dashboard, not the Widget page.

  Okay, I kind of understand. My website is http://www.JoanDayImages.com, and I wanted people to see a link to my website from my blog. I have a link on my website to my blog, but when I post on my blog, I want there to be a link somewhere so people can go to the website. I usually just add a line on the bottom, “If you would like to see more of my work, please click on http://www.JoanDayImages.com.” Then I create a hyperlink and make the text blue.
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  To add links so that they will appear in the links widget, go to links > add new in the left-hand navigation in the dashboard.

  To thesacredpath,

  Thank you so very much. I guess I had it there all along, but didn’t realize that I had the blogs urls as links, also. Didn’t need redundancy. Okay, so I deleted every other link except my website. It’s hiding at the bottom, so I guess I’ll move it to the top, if I can.

  You were very helpful.
  Thank you,
  Joan
