After reviewing posts in this forum on how to modify _main.php within my chosen skin, I attempted to add links to favorite bloggers, etc. I added the link in the code, below the beginning of the sidebar and above the calendar. Two things happened; 1) The file obviously was messed up because when I hit my URL, the blog was all garbled code and 2) when I attempted to upload the backup I made, things didn't change.

I've changed skins, so I'm not in panic mode. However, I still have a messed up _main.php file for that skin (wpc_default) and I still don't know how to add links to external sites within the sidebar.

Before today I thought I was pretty decent at html. Why is it so difficult to add content to the sidebar? Am I missing something? I had grand visions of adding links, pictures, etc.

if you still have a download of b2evo, you can take again a fresh copy op the _main.php..

It is not that difficult at all to put code in..
That particular skin is unknown to me, but as long as you edit your files in a decent editor (preferable one that colors code) , there is no problem..

For exemple
There is a place for the include of the category-plugin..
That code starts with <?php and ends with ?>

if you delete that particular block (so including those <?php and ?>, at that exact place you are able to put in links to whatever you want.
At that exact place you put only decent html...

Again, it is an example....
