    Hi everybody, I’ve searched around but couldn’t find what I’m looking for.

    I just would like to have a links page, with two sections (my language / other language).

    I mean external links to other websites, NOT a blogroll NOR a few links that I wanna show on my blog’s sides. I mean a true, traditional external links section, but I can’t find any plugin or tool or wizard -let’s say- to do so, besides creating the whole thing by myself out of a blank new page, of course, and this is what I’d like to avoid!

    Thank you much.

    There is no widget that I’m aware of that can do this for you. You will have to create a new page and hard code your links into it, or use PHP from template tags do create unordered lists you can then insert your links into.

    Ooooh, thanks a lot Saurus!

    I know nothing about php but there’s the inspiration for someone to do it someday, LOL!

    In your sidebar.php, you should see a div containing an unordered list for your blogroll, All you have to do is change the name “blogroll” in the h2 area to something like “good links” and save it. Then just use the blogroll editor from your dashboard and enter a site url and site name instead of blog names. The result you want without a fuss. I have changed virtually every name in my sidebar, so it’s not a problem. You won’t have a separate page that way, but it will accomplish what you want to do. The second language is another story – I don’t know how that would be accomplished – other than entering a link twice, in 2 different languages – if your template will allow that.
