afaik it's nothing but a list, feel free to add your links uisng Free HTML widget.. use li that's it

hi Snelly,

welcome to the forums.

You want the linkblog widget, I think.
From a fresh install Blog 4 is your linkblog (but that could be any other blog if you change that). In the linkblog, create the links you want. Now in the public blog add the widget "Linkblog" to your sidebar an point it to your Linkblog (Blog ID 4 as mentioned before). That should do the trick.

Good luck

oh dear. I deleted the linkblog. Can I get it back?

No problems. Create a new blog. It will now be number 5 or so. You can choose to include the blog in the menu (that is what we call Blogroll). You can also choose to exclude it.

Good luck
