The 'short name' (which is what is displayed in that skin) is limited to 12 characters. I forget how to change that, but it's changable if you hack some core files. If that's not your thing then consider going with shorter 'short names' like "thoughts" and "random". Bummer, but that's the way it is.

It is also possible to use the 'name' instead of the 'short name' for the displayed text. Open skins/custom/_linkblog.php and find this bit:

	# This is the blogparam that will be displayed as the name:
	if(!isset($blog_name_param)) $blog_name_param = 'shortname';
	# This is the blogparam that will be displayed as the link title:
	if(!isset($blog_title_param)) $blog_title_param = 'name';

Now change it to this bit instead:

	# This is the blogparam that will be displayed as the name:
	if(!isset($blog_name_param)) $blog_name_param = 'name';
	# This is the blogparam that will be displayed as the link title:
	if(!isset($blog_title_param)) $blog_title_param = 'name';

Slick?

I already did this but this only changed the 'short name' character limit to what I changed it to in the ACP.

Yes very slick, but I found that in the _bloglist.php file, not in the _linkblog.php file. :) Thanks for your help.
