# adding multiple widgets

 * I want to add multiple copies of the link widget to my sidebar.
 * The codex say that to add multiple copies you:
 * >  Adding Multiple Widgets of the Same Kind
   >  To add multiple text widgets, RSS
   > widgets, or any other widgets, just click the widget’s Add link as many times
   > as you need the widget.
 * However, I don’t see where the “Add” link is located.
    On the widgets page in
   the dashboard I have the two sets of widgets “available” & “inactive”. For the
   link widget I can configure options in the “inactive” group. But I don’t see 
   a link to add multiple versions of the same link.
 * Would someone point me to where the link is located.
 * Thanks.

 * Just drag’n’drop multiple Links widgets onto your sidebar.

 * Ah, I was trying to drag them from the bottom group, “inactive”, and of course
   that doesn’t work. They need to come from the top group.
    Thanks.
