  hi drmike.. i had followed the checklist (multiple times).. but to no avail…

  a few questions:
  1. do bookmarks need to be assigned to a separate category?
  2. do we need to have posts in the same category name ?
  3. does the bookmark category need a special name –> blogroll / bookmarks / link /links /…

  i try to save the a bookmark to a category “links” meant only for bookmarks.. but the category field is empty when i get back to the main page….

  1 – No. They need to be assigned to a category though that also has posts. If there are no posts within the category, then the links won’t show up.

  2 – Yes.

  3 – No.

  I try – That’s why you’re having issues. Don’t use a special category unless you first put at least one post into that category.

  hi drmike..

  no such luck :(

  my categories are as follows:

  |-general
  |-tech
  |-links

  i tried moving the latest entry to a separate category , and assign the bookmark to the same category, but the category field is still blank…..

  OK, but what do you have your bookmarks in? Up above you said that they’re in the links category. From looking at your blog, you don’t have any posts in the “links” category.

  i have moved the bookmarks to the general / tech ..

  ( im trying to assign it to general for the time being )

  Later i can probably make a post in the category “links”..

  The problem here is that the category is not shown in the manage bookmark screen…. !!

  ( im not really sure why… )

  hi drmike / podz

  i tried creating a new blog . the links seem to work fine.
  here are my findings..

  * You need to create and assign the bookmarks to any section

  * This section DOES NOT need to have any posts in it !! :)

  * You can assign different bookmarks to different sections ( without posts ) and they appear under different section headings

  So .. could it be a problem with the backend then ??
