 * I was wondering if anyone has a quick change for this. When entering a link, 
   there is a box that allows for a short description. When a short description 
   is entered, two things seem to occur. It places the short description next to
   the name of the link directly on my site (i don’t want this), and it also pops
   up the short description in a small text box when the mouse pauses briefly over
   the name of the link (This is what i want). How can i turn off the displayed 
   short description on my blog while keeping the short description in a text box
   upon mouse pause on the name?
    Thanks! knuckles

 * Turn off the “show description” (or whatever the text says) in the options .

 * Thanks. After going back through all the link options, i found the toggle for
   the short descriptions under Link Categories.
