Q: I don’t want it to say “Blogroll.” I prefer “Links” or something else.
A: First of all, that’s not a question. It’s a statement.
To change it from saying Blogroll to “Links,” you need to go into your WordPress admin area and click on “Manage” –> “Links” (or just “Blogroll in older versions of WP). Edit all the links and change their category to “Links” (you’ll have to create this category). When all of your links are in the category “Links,” it will no longer say Blogroll, but Links.

I’m not getting it. I got everything so far. I want to remove your links and also change the title of Blogroll to Links - nothing is “taking”.
Thank you.
PS This template is just the best. All of the helpful documentation you put together is just amazing and really really its helping me to control this on my own. Thanks,

Ellen, Did you remove the default WordPress links? When you checked your blog, did you force your browser to refresh? You may have been looking at a cached version of your page and that’s why it seemed like it didn’t “take.”
I’m having the same problem. Could it be because I deleted the old links before I made my new category? If so, what do I do now? (I didn’t have this issue the first time I installed this theme, and deleting the old links first is the only thing I’ve done differently. Everything else has worked beautifully.)
Thanks!
Never mind, Jared. Problem solved!
Jared, I am trying to add a link to another photography site. They are asking for a links page from my home site. Here is the exact language:
——-
How to get the links on your site.
You will simply need a .php page on your site that will be the links page. many just call this page links.php You will then add the code below to your links.php page. Once this is
published to the web this page will automatically maintain a current links structure due to the nature of the include code (it will have to be published before you will see that it’s working).
The page MUST be a .php page, not a .html page. You can simply have your web designer do this, or if you do your own design it’s as simple as making a php page,
or changing the extension of a page from .html to .php, adding the code, and publishing it. You do not need to change any other page to .php, only the links page. Make sure you place the code in the html body
of your page, and not just as text on the page itself. Remember that the links page must be linked from your homepage. It can be small, and inconspicuous, but it must be text. Once you fill out the form your site will be checked, and as long as you are linked you’ll be added. Random checks will also be made to ensure everyone stays up to date.
The link to the links page must be text, and though it does not have to be visable to guests, we must be able to find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Max.
@Max: create a new “Page” by going to “Write” => “Page”. Then you can insert the code there. When you’re done, click publish and “view page” and copy the URL, it should end with .php
