Links Button

    Help. I’m in a panic. I am teaching a group of college instructors tomorrow morning how to create a WordPress blog. I created 3 sample blogs to use:
    barbteach02
    barbteach03
    barbteach04

    I want to show them how to add a link to the Blogroll. The problem is that the Links button does not appear in my Dashboard. It also does not appear as an option on the drop down menu when I click my blog name from in the top left corner of my blog located on the Administration bar.

    I went to the Appearance section of my blog(s) and clicked on Widgets but there is no widget showing for Blogroll.

    I tried changing Themes but this does not correct my problem.

    All my instruction handouts are already written and printed. These handouts instruct the student to go to their blog name located in the top left corner of the Administrion bar and to select Link from the drop down menu.

    I administrate three other wordpress.com blogs and all three show the Link option in the drop down menu. All three also show the Blogroll widget under widgets.

    Can you help me fix this by tomorrow?

    Thank you.

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

    It’s not the Blogroll widget, it’s the Links widget. It’s in the default widget set that every blog has. If you add a widget or change the sidebar for the first time, all the widgets go to your Unused box and you have to drag in the ones you want one at a time.

    The Links widget is configured from Dashboard->Links. It’s an option on hte left-hand side of the main dashboard page. Do you not see it there?
