    I am not using widgets in my sidebar. My designer did a custom theme that didn't support those. How to I add a list of blogs separated in categories on my sidebar. The only list, or archive, I have now is based on the month it was written. I don't know much about PHP and could use some help on this one. Thanks.

    A link to your site would help but you can add what you want to the Sidebar.php

    <h2>Category 1</h2>
    Link#1
    Link#2

    <h2>Category 2</h2>
    Link#1
    Link#2

    You get the idea...

    That's a nonsense Jabbok!

    David, use this:
    Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks in your sidebar and it will display every link (either by categories or not, your choice, see the parameters) that you add in the admin panel under Manage > Links.
