Really need help with creating links page–please

I have been trying on and off for days to figure out how to make a dedicated links page that is not called in from the menu on the site but has a link in the sidebar (which just happens to be located on the right side of the header). I don’t know enough to figure out why the theme author made a links.php page that doesn’t seem to be used. I don’t want a blogroll that says blogroll, but I would like my client to be able to still write her links in the dashboard and have them appear on the links page. I think I am making this harder than it has to be but the blogroll that came with the sidebar makes the links appear on the main page and I need to get them on a separate page. The site is http://www.timeforchi.com and the theme is clean-blue. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
