Adding a “Links” section in WordPress

OK, OK, so it’s probably obvious to anyone who’s been using WordPress for a while, but I’ll tell you what, trying to find out how to get the word “Links” to appear on my right-hand sidebar, rather than “Blogroll” has taken hours of searching!

It’s just NOT documented anywhere that I could find.  There’s no plugins to fix it for me.  In short – it seemed impossible!

In the end, I decided to do what any good programmer would do – hack the code! :-)

I spent quite some time sifting through the source files trying to find where “Blogroll” was hard-coded, but again, my search was in vain!

Then it struck me.  Since “Blogroll” is a default category, maybe it was just picking up the category name….?  Yup!

OK, OK – it’s easy when you know how! ;-)

Later!
