How to create links on the sidebar widget in WordPress

After dragging your ad codes widget over there, click that upside down triangle for ad codes to open it, and we can place code in there now.

Here is some simple HTML which can be placed in there to create links and we can control the color and the size :

<a href="http://fishermanjo.com/fish-species"><font size="6" color="#0000FF">Fish Species</font></a>
<br /><br />
<a href="http://fishermanjo.com/fishing-licenses"><font size="6" color="#0000FF">Fishing Licenses</font></a>

Take a look at the code and you will see what it does.

a href gives it the clickable hyperlink property

the link goes in next

font size gives it the size

color gives it the color

As you can see you enclose them with the lesser than and greater than brackets like these < > , and you close them with the

 </font></a>

The

<br /><br />

you see creates a line break (so the link above has a space between the link below)

Once you get more widgets on your sidebar (or if you have some there already), you can place your links above or below existing widgets by simply dragging the widget you want to move up or down.

And that is the most basic way to add your own links to the sidebar in WordPress!
