  -> Presentation -> Widgets
  drag the widget you want out of the “Available Widgets” box and drop it into the “Sidebar Widgets box in the position you want it to appear on your blog. Click “Save Changes”

  It’s not working. I already updated my blogrolls and my widgets but I STILL DONT SEE THE LINKS IN MY SITE. I’ve been going on at this for hours now.

  If you have followed all the steps at the links I gave you then the only explanation I have for failure is that your blog may have a technical problem that needs staff to fix it. That means you will have to send in a feedback tomorrow.

  So, you’re saying the Links widget is in your sidebar, yes?

  And you’ve inserted the links through Dashboard — > Blogroll, and you see them there?

  You do have to have some content in your blog before anything will display. Why not make a placeholder post and see if things display then?

  What exactly did you do? You could have missed a step.

  Or you could send feedback if the problem isn’t on your side.

  @rain and sulz
  The instructions I provided at the links above are very explicit.

  And you’ve inserted the links through Dashboard — > Blogroll, and you see them there? Yes, I did this as well. And I see the links I did with URL, etc.

  You do have to have some content in your blog before anything will display. Why not make a placeholder post and see if things display then? I did now.

  Still I see no links.

  I’ll try sending feedback. Thank you very much.

  Hold it. Did you assign each link to a category? They will not display unless they are assigned to a category. “Blogroll” is the default category and if you deleted it then that’s the problem. If this isn’t the problem then support is closed until tomorrow and you can send a feedback in then.
