‘k, I put ul in brackets and then it didn’t show up. Guess that is a code no-no? sigh.

I’m getting confused again. I still see bullets from my nanowrimo link on down. They were not there until yesterday, when I changed my bookmark code to what Otto suggested.

What is this other issue, the

you guys are talking about?

Colordreamer~ thanks for the effort; I wasn’t sure which code you meant to fix the second issue with the bullets.

Otto, I changed it to the code you suggested but the diamond bullets are still there. sixredheads.com

Hey Otto…one more question. I did it and it worked great. But from the link section down everything has a diamond bullet next it. How can I remove them?

My apologies for not posting my site sooner; by clicking on my “member” name the link is visible and I wrongly assumed you would have checked it.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. Is this the code I should place in it’s entirety?

<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>

My apologies as well on the style.css confusion. I had been doing this work in the sidebar.php; I have been working in so many places this week, doing things all completely new to me, that I simply got confused and mixed them up. I didn’t like your tone but I wanted to apologize for my contribution.

Okay…I add links to my blogroll. I choose a category for them. On my sidebar it shows as ONE list of links and is not categorized in any other way than within my dashboard organization. I don’t know how to make it clearer than that. You can look if you want. sixredheads.com. There is ONE list of links labeled “Inspiration”, even though until yesterday I had 4 different categories (today I have two).

I have gone and looked at the suggested bookmark sheet but again, it is not clear to me what one is to do with that information. It’s language I’m only starting to become familiar with and I think I am still unapologetically at the stage where I need a bit of code and an instruction on where to put it; that page seems to indicate I need to construct it myself. Also, if I need to adjust my template, I’ve been told by my web designer that I need to do so in ftp and the style.css. If that is not the case, please tell me how I should do it instead. My template within my dashboard is not writable.

When two people have a problem communicating and making sure they both understand one another, it is rarely all one
person’s fault, or in one person’s ability to ask their question well enough.

Gee Otto thanks for condescending down here to my level where
people ask for clarification and support on a um…support forum.

“In other words, you’ve been given the right answer. All you have to do is to read it.”

Interestingly enough, the first part of your (and rudy’s) suggestion has already been tried several times on my blog and does not get the desired result. I’ll give the second half of your reply some more effort but I did go to that bookmark function earlier (the first time I managed to make out the words and um, read it) and was not certain which part goes where in my template. Really Otto, if clarifying for someone still learning is too annoying for you, feel no need to reply yet again.

Thanks Otto…like I said above, I’m still learning and the “lingo” is my weakest link ;-).

I wish I could say this isn’t still greek to me but it is. If I don’t need to be working on my style sheet, can you tell me where to make that category and put links into it? I think I said above that my current link categories in my dashboard do not separate my current links at all and they are all in one blogroll.

bumping this back up to the top. I was told this forum was the best place to go for advice…sure hope someone can help!

and I’m not sure why but when I hit “post” it took a straight line of code and made it it look like the above. That is not how it looks on the sidebar.php

Why is nonsense? In my ftp I open the style sheet to customize my template. The code in there is called html right? So what is nonsensical about that?

I’m not sure how the problem could be my existing blogroll….it works perfectly fine and my issue isn’t with the first one but in wanting a second one. But here is the code for the first:

<?php get_links(‘-1’, ‘
• ‘, ‘

‘, ‘
‘, FALSE, ‘id’, FALSE, TRUE, -1, FALSE); ?>

Like I said, just duplicating that code also duplicates all my current links.

Do you have a “manage” in your dashboard? And a “pages” under that? That’s where I edit mine.

I’ve long had categories for my links but they aren’t visible on the page, only on the organizational end within my dashboard. I want an entirely different section, like a “blogroll2” to list entirely different kinds of links (business versus personal). I’m working in the html on my style sheet in ftp, which is new to me. When I copy the code from my existing blogroll it copies all the links again too.

You see, I know just enough to keep me from being a web idiot and just enough to make me dangerous but not enough to actually know what I’m doing!!! bwwwhhahaahaaa

You can see where I want this to go on the side bar of my site. “Blogging with flair” should be the second blogroll.
