Sidebar Blogroll order
-
I do not like the way my blog rolls are ordered…i can make the links IN the actual blogroll but i have 3 catagories of areas and they automatically show up on my sidebar in alpha order…not what i want. Can anyone tell me how to order them the way i want them?
-
Once the Links widget is placed in the sidebar the links you entered into your Blogroll in the admin area of your blog will always display in alphabetical order in accord with the Categories you assigned to them.

thanks timethief – and there is no way around this? i need them in order of importance…argh! lol
-
You can change your Categories by putting numbers in front of the words like 1 Zebras; 2 Aardvarks; 3 Elephants, etc. or you can do that in reverse with the numbers at the ends.

WOAH! There is a down side and that is that your on the wordpress.com tag pages your posts will not appear with other posts like them. How about simply telling me what they are and then we can try and work something better out.

oh i made a mistake on a catagory name for blog roll – i dont see an edit or delete button !?

Okay let’s just take this slowly. This is the primary area for creating new categories.
-> Manage -> Blogroll -> Add Link (complete fields and click “add Link” to save.)
The little box on the Write Post page is where you can add a new category to a post “on the fly”.
To edit or delete a Category you go to the same spot -> Manage -> Blogroll (find the edit or delete buttons and use them).
Please read these
understanding your Blogroll, Links widget and Categories
understanding widgets and how to set them upYIKES! remove that email address before spam bots are all over it.
Instead just post the category names here and we can work on them here. -
Whew! We are a gong show … lol …:D
I made a mistake above and it’s too late to edit.
To edit or delete a Category ->Manage -> Categories (not Blogroll) now find the edit or delete button and use it. -

I clicked on your landing page (front page) and I’m here to tell you that there is a downside to having a static front page. In terms of blog ranking google heavily relies on the front page information and determines the blog’s ranking based in part on the number of links to your posts, the number of comments and the page rank of the Categories and links listed in your sidebar. Your static front page has nothing that can be used to determine a page rank. More information on page ranking can be gleaned from this thread https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=7118
I also clicked through your front page and ended up on another page where the links all had database errors. -
You have a link to “store” and this could be a problem. Generally speaking wordpress.com blogs are non-commercial blogs. You can have only one link to an affiliate site and you cannot transact business on a wordpress.com blog nor can you use a wordpress.com blog to drive traffic to a commercial site. Doing so could put you in contravention of the Terms of Service and wordpress.com policy and as a result your blog could be deleted.
Please read the purple part of the ToS http://wordpress.com/tos/ and then read this carefully too http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/12/08/adsense/
You can clarify this with staff by sending in a feedback (button on top right hand corner of any admin side blog page – click it and a pane opens for you to write in). We volunteers are not allowed to discuss policy matters on the forum.
From what I can see your interests may be better served by self-hosting or hiring a web host and downloading a free template from http://wordpress.org This is because you can use a wordpress.org blog as a commercial blog but you cannot do the same with a wordpress.com hosted blog.

Sure you saw my blog? Its not commercial and I dont sell anything on it….I simply link to the places I love to visit :) Its all scrapbooking related. I also don’t want google to find my blog so i opted out of that – its a private blog that no one needs to see but my friends and fellow scrapbookers. :) Have a great night! I’m off to bed…zzzzzz

Good grief! If that’s the blog link what I posted above should be deleted. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=10647&page&replies=18#post-75365
I clicked on the username and it was linked to a completely different site. :( -
digitalcandy.ca IS a commercial site. No idea why someone would link their username to a site that wasn’t theirs, but it looks like that’s what they’ve done.
I do wish it was mandatory for people to link their names to their WordPress.com blogs before posting in the forum. It would make things so much simpler.
