  I would like to add more links to my sidebar, but the format has changed since I first started using wordpress and I am unable to figure out how to add more. The links widget isn’t very helpful. I already have the links widget set up, so where do I go from here.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi, @arlenetoth59,

  First of all, lovely artwork. I adore the colors.

  A Heads-Up: I see that the theme you are using (Matala) has been retired which means there could be things that won’t work well. See this page: https://wordpress.com/theme/matala
  I would recommend finding a theme that is up to date for starters. :)

  On-Topic: It is a bit tricky at first. You’ll need to first set up a category of links to a blogroll, via your wp-admin dashboard. Once those are setup, you’ll be able to go to the widget and pick that category of links.

  Your wp-admin menu: https://arlenetoth.wordpress.com/wp-admin
  Instructions on adding a new Blogroll: https://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/add-a-blogroll-link/

  Let me know if this helps/if you have additional questions.

  Thank you very much. I changed my theme. For some reason, the admin menu I was getting was not the same one as the link you provided and is why I was confused and had issues. Thank you very much for providing it. I know what to do now. :)
