  I recently created a blog using WordPress with the 2014 theme and I’d like to add a blogroll to my sidebar. However all the instructions indicate that I need to use a “links menu” and “links widget” but I don’t have either in my dashboard.

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

  If you are not the logged in blog owner and Admin of the blog then you cannot access Links.

  The Links widget IS the blogroll. But you set it up on the dashboard Links page. It’s a bit idiosyncratic.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Thank you for your feedback. I am already logged in as the administrator, so that is not the problem.

  As far as I can tell there is no links page on my dashboard nor is there a links widget in my list of widgets.

  This is the WordPress.COM support forum. You need to post to the WordPress.ORG support forum for help with http://lisakramervintage.com/ because it is not hosted by WordPress.COM.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins, features and run different versions of some themes with the same names http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
