    I cannot find a way to put either a Link or a Widget-what does that look like anyway ? into a Sidebar left or right.
    There seems to be no one place which describes the process to do this. I’ve tried Presentation, Widgets,Extras, Blogroll,Manage,Dragging Link,Text box etc but once dragged

    I can’t seem to do anything with it/them i.e.they seem to vanish /into the etherand I’m still left with a near blank sidebar on my weblog page.

    All I really wnt to do is put some links onto my weblog page,
    Doesn’t sound too complicated , does it ?

    Also whats an RSS feed, or a feed, come to that?

    For links you can use the blogroll and then you have to drag the links widget to the sidebar (and save).
    A feed is automatically “shipped” with your blog, the address is: http://yourblog.wordpress.com/feed/
    (where “yourblog” is the name of your blog)
    so no additional action is required.
    A very good point to start with are the FAQ (frequently asked questions).

    Can I use the feed to help me create a “Table of Contents” page?
    When I cut and pasted in the TOC page, I did not get “links”. I got a listing.

    So my question is. How do I create a TOC with links?

    By hand. If you find your Archives widget doesn’t meet your needs, you’ll have to write it out yourself.
