  I’m new. I added 2 new categories to Links, but only one is displayed on my blog page. I set Blogroll to display 0, since it wouldn’t let me delete the category, and set the 2 new ones to display 12 links each. However, I can’t get both categories to display. Am I doing something wrong, or will WP only display one category?

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

  Hello there,
  It’s important to note that when you create a Category unless or until you publish a posts and assign that category to it the widget has no data to display. The same is true if Links unless or until you actually enter a link and assign the Category to it the widget had no data to display.

  It’s also important to note that there are default categories and unless or until you change the default category to another one it will continue to display the default category.
