 * yet another sidebar question…
 * in my theme, all my links, regardless of category are placed under the title “
   Links” … how can i make them separate and show another category?
 * current code:
    ` <div class="title"><?php _e('Links'); ?></div> <?php get_links('-
   1', '', '<br />', '<br />', 0, 'name', 0, 0, -1, 0); ?>

 * Try changing `get_links('-1'...)` to `get_links_(-1...)` to see if anything changes.
   The first parameter should be an integer, not a string.

 * i’ve changed it, and i’m still getting only one category: “Links” … not any others…

 * Try using wp_get_links instead. Alternatively, I use wp_get_linksbyname(‘category
   name’) and call each cat separately.

 * could i use the following code for that?:
 * <div class="title"><?php _e('Links'); ?></div>
    <?php wp_get_links('-1', '', '','',
   0, 'name', 0, 0, -1, 0); ?>
 * or
 * <div class="title"><?php _e('Links'); ?></div>
    <?php wp_get_linksbyname('General');?
   >
 * or something along those lines perhaps?

 * Extract from my sidebar:
    ` <div class="content"> <?php _e('Daily:'); ?> <ul>
   <?php wp_get_linksbyname('Daily'); ?> </ul>  I would guess that your second suggestion
   should work.

 * Just for shits & giggles, change your `get_links` line to `get_links()`, without
   any parameters. See if anything changes.

 * well, apparently my theme won’t accept the “wp” part of the get_links tag, so
   i deleted that part and i can seemingly make it work, thanks for the “link by
   name” suggestion, definitely helpful…is there a place to find descriptions of
   the parameters set in the get_links tag?
