While on the main page of your blog, view the source and then copy out the unordered list section for the blogrolls (ul) and paste into the text tab on the page (not the visual). You will then remove the class='xoxo blogroll' so that it looks like below. This is the part from the NY links section.

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.brooklynvegan.com">Brooklyn Vegan</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.gothamist.com">Gothamist</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.nyartbeat.com">New York Art Beat</a></li>

<li><a href="http://newyork.timeout.com">TimeOut: New York</a></li>
</ul>

Do the above for the NJ section as well. Note that you will have to manually update and add links like you would for any page. This will not update automatically.

I was hoping you would say you wanted to create your own hyperlinks! The widgets are unable to be placed anywhere other than in the sidebar by default.

There may be some way to mirror the widgets using CSS and our Custom Design package, however I am not familiar with it and we would not be able to give you any assistance with it.

OK, thanks for the clarification. Let me ask you, on that page which you'd like to create, are you looking to be able to load widgets on to it like you have on your sidebar (such as your blogroll, etc) or are you just looking to be able to create hyperlinks?

Let me know!

You can indeed have a static page as your front page! We even have a guide on how to set it right here:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

On that page you can design it however you wish (including making it a link repository) using the page editor!

I've searched and it seems that all I should do is go to Appearance>Widgets and then simply drag it off the sidebar and remove it. The major problem I do not see it on my dashboard at all, yet it is still on my site! There does not seem to be any way whatsoever for me to remove this.

All other widgets I can drag across and remove easily, so why won't 'blogroll' leave? I don't understand how it can appear on my site when it isn't active on my primary or secondary sidebar.

Understand what you are saying, but a) many links will be in multiple categories and b) many of the team aren't techy so filling out a form on the website is much simpler than editing the page each time.

That would be excellent, as it could be a brilliantly useful part of WordPress, but currently it's very difficult to access. We are using iTheme2 which is lovely, but sadly has no way of using the links/blogroll except in the sidebar that wouldn't work for us.

I've brought the idea of having more themes with a links page template up to our team for future consideration.
