How to insert Blogroll in Sidebar

How many of you have the knowledge to do this in case you do not have a blogroll ready wordpress template or widget ready? In order to made this thing simple for you, here we go:

First of all you need to open with your editor (notepad, ps pad, dreamwaver, ecc) the file sidebar.php located in the root/wp-content/themes/your_active_theme

Once you have open it you need to locate the exact location where you want in the sidebar the blogroll to appear and insert the following code:

<li><ul>
<?php get_links_list(); ?>
</ul></li>

Once you have done this all you have to do is to save the file and upload it back on the server overwriting the existing sidebar.php

As a security measure, I advice you to made locall a copy of all the files you are thinking you will change so in case that something will go wrong you will have the backup to return to the original files.

If you are not familiar with the FTP and code editors, you can change and add the code that I spoke about trough the theme editor located in your WordPress admin section, under the Appearance tab.

In case you encounter problems or questions do not hesitate to ask.
