Where is the Links widget?
-
I’m using the Baskerville 2 theme, and I want to share links in the sidebar, however there no longer seems to be a Links widget available.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thanks. To clarify, I know how to use widgets, and there used to be a Links widget with this theme, which I have recently returned to after trying out other options. There used to be a widget that allowed me to share the links, by category, that I have accumulated over time. I can’t find it in the inactive widgets, the current widget collection or in the legacy widget collection.

Hi there! As a function the links/blogroll was phased out a while ago. It is being superseded by the Blogroll Block:
Use the Blogroll block to share a list of blogs you follow with your website visitors. This guide will show you how to add and edit your blogroll. Add the Blogroll Block To add the Blogroll block, click the + Block Inserter icon and search for “blogroll”. Click to add the block to the post or page. 💡 Using your keyboard, you can also type /blogroll on a new line and press entI hope that helps, if you do have any other questions let us know!

That helps, to a very limited point. The widget allowed me to make an instant list of all my collected links by category. Why was it supplanted by a Block that does none of these things? Now I have to use multiple blocks to categorize and then add the links individually? Let me know if I am wrong, but this does not seem to be progress.
