# Adding links to sidebar

 * Hello, I want to add a number of different links to the ‘arbitrary text’ widget
   on my sidebar, however when using the html
 * `<a href="http://insert your link here">`
 * it sets all links and posts in the sidebar to the same destination, even if I
   do not want a link there.
 * How can I make it so that each link I set goes to a different URL, and it only
   sets the text that I have inserted in one widget as a link… not all of the text
   in all of the widgets.

 * `<a href="http://insert your link here">` is the code that I have used, I notice
   it has linked all of my text above aswell, this is the problem I am having in

 * also, is there a way to just set one word or phrase in the text as the link, 
   as opposed to the entire sentence?
