I know I might sound a bit dense, but part of some parts of the instructions were clear as mud to me since I am not too deep into coding.

My question is can just put this code in my custom php file and then the new template will show up when I open "Add New Page" from the WordPress Dashboard? And then will the links automatically show up in that page for me to save? Or have I over-simplified this task.

I would love to have a link page because I had tp created one using HTML and it is very time consuming to change whenever I add or delete a link.

Thanks in advance for reading and trying to clarify for me.

I'm really new at this whole blogging thing. I really am Glad I found such a intresting website dedicated to helping others set up their blogs.

I like the idea of the side bar link. It's gonna make the site cleaner looking.

Dean, I know what you mean. Add in a couple of years of Archives too and the sidebar can be way off. That's why a lot of people opt for 2 sidebars these days.

David and sachin, no problem

chase – you're right you could, but the main focus of the post was Page Templates, the links list is just the one page most bloggers would probably use and was less complex than a contact us page (which I'll be doing at some point in the future too).

another possible idea is using a CSS dropdown menu on your main navigation for your blogroll. If looking to conserve space is an issue, that could be a good option for you.

Very interesting, I've seen blogs with sidebars that are easily three or four times longer than page content!
