Do you mean the titles in the sidebar? Change away.
my mistake, how do i change them, is it done in the index.php?
Okay, let’s be really clear what we are talking about. First, what version of WordPress are you using? If you are in -1.2, then they would be in the index.php. If you are in 1.5 (and you “should” be), then typically the links I think you are talking about are on the sidebar. If you are not in 1.5 – consider seriously upgrading.
Second, there is a great article on the Codex, the documentation site for WordPress, that tackles the complex issue of the sidebar links. I recommend you take a look at it: http://codex.wordpress.org/Styling_lists_with_CSS.
Third, the names you mentioned, archives, blogroll, and meta, are typically the TITLES of the different sections of links in the sidebar or wherever people have put them. They are in a nested list, which is discussed in the above article. They are usually wrapped in code that looks something like this:
<li id="wp_meta"><?php _e('Meta'); ?>
To change the Meta title to Fred, just type in Fred where it says Meta:
<li id="wp_meta"><?php _e('Fred'); ?>
Do the same with archives and Blogroll.
Does that help?
If you’re using 1.5, then its most likely in sidebar.php. Look for where it says things like ?php _e(‘Meta’); then you can change what it says in there.
GREAT that sound like it is i will try that that Oriecat and Lorelle.

And yes, those are the titles in your sidebar. Neat site. When you are ready to have it “reviewed”, if you want, then post a note in the My WordPress section of the forum.
