 * So, I had sql errors, was running slow, so i upgraded to the latest. followed
   the upgrade instructions to the tie. everything went fine. ran faster, posted
   faster, no more errors, i’m happy till i look at the blog and in my sidebar i
   see the following…any ideas sure would help, i’m not a sql guru but i can follow
   instructions.
 * WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual
   that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near”

 * Quoting venerable Otto42 here:
 * The error is that your code is no longer valid with WordPress 2.1 and up. Change
   it to use the new [wp_list_bookmarks ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks)
   function instead.

 * Venerable? Wow.
 * trblclef: Your theme used custom code to display the Links in your sidebar. That
   custom code is no longer valid. You can replace it with some form of a wp_list_bookmarks()
   function call to get the Links to display again. Or look for an updated version
   of your theme.
