so you want the sidebar to show the same contents no matter what skin is used ?

Some would be common but others wouldn't.

If I had to adjust each one based on the skin it wouldn't be a problem since I will only have a few guys writing for the website.

if only i could understand what you exactly need (:

If you can, a link to your site might give us a better idea as to what you mean.

Here's a link although I have no content.

What I would like to be able to do is add custom links in the margin (table) on the left hand side along with the search, categories.

Simple way is to add a FreeHTML widget to the sidebar and add the links you want to add as a list:

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.your-url.com/1.html">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.your-url.com/2.html">Link 2</a></li>
</ul>

First lturner thanks for the help, very cool of you to stick with this thread.

And I edited my post because I found what you were pointer me to in the Add Widgets.

Thank you very much, the help is appreciated!

I don't think you missed anything. Here is a more formal way of doing it:

Create a new post where the title is the text you want as the link and the 'Link to url' field is the link you want to link too. Change the 'Type' of the post to 'Sidebar Link'. Click on save to save the post.

Now go to your widgets for that blog and add the 'Simple Sidebar Links list' widget.

All the above is from memory so apologies if it is a bit off.

Hi Iturner,
I have done exactly what you described above, but no link is to be seen in my sidebar, only the link to my blog itself.
I use b2e 5.2.2 and the Aveso skin.
Thanks.

Hi @vlaanderen,
