Theoretically this should work…
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0'); ?>
Shadow, she’s asked the same question as I, and again, what does one do with the code you suggest?
We’re working in the Dashboard. Where in the Dashboard can I use that code?
If you have permissions set, you can access it via Admin – Presentation – Theme Editor
It will need to go in your theme sidebar.php file.
Okay, tell me in baby language what file to change the permissions of and what to set it to, and should I immediately change them back, or is it safe to leave it writable during this initial tweaking of the site appearance?
In this case, change your theme sidebar.php file to permission setting 777
Once you have made all the changes, set it back to its original permission level.
And, will the code you suggest give me a text box, or something I can edit the contents of? How does it know what I want in there? For example, the theme came with a Blogroll. I edited it, removed the existing links to theme-builders’ sites (and save them), and replaced them with appropriate links to other genealogy blogs. But… I would like to have a duplicate of that entire interface into which I could enter links that are to other websites that are not necessarily blogs, but rather to genealogy resources. Is this possible?
Don’t kick me for making reference to another program, but in my b2evolution blog, it is easy to build a links section, with categories and the whole nine yards. Can I do that in WordPress? For example, the Blogroll came listed as a Category in the Categories edit page, but nowhere can I see how to make subcategories in it (actually haven’t tried, because a blog is a blog is a blog, but I would want subcategories if I were fortunate enough to have a “duplicate” link-building interface.
Thanks, I’m going to look for that file right now. Be back soon.
Start by adding your links to your blogroll and adding that code to your sidebar. That will show you how it works in a basic fashion. Then you can start adding link categories and adding or moving your links around . The same code will still pull all the categories of links into the sidebar.
If you then need to make further changes you can look into the more advanced elements of the wp_list_bookmarks function by going to the Codex and having a play with it all.

But for now, I’m late for work… 🙂
The code above didn’t work for me, but the problems was easy, EASY to solve! Simply add another category in the Blogroll interface (find Blogroll in the Dashboard menu) and indicate which category your new link goes in. It automatically created a separate section just like the Blogroll, but I named it Resources. Now I can separate out the links to blogs from links to other websites.
Thanks, shadow, for your patience!
OK I copied that code into both my sidebar.php files… The one in my theme and the one for wordpress under the WP Admin folder and it’s still there. Can anyone provide further direction? Is there a sidebar.php file that I am missing? It appears that the extra blogroll is a WordPress font… so not part of my theme….
Is there a particular place this needs to go withing the script?
THanks so much ahead!!!
Update… I noticed jsut now that when I added the line posted above by “Shadow” … it created two lists as well as two blogs. If I leave it I only have one list and two Blogroll titles.
