WordPress – How To Create a Delicious Bookmarks Page
Two weeks ago I wrote an article on how to exclude pages from appearing in your header or sidebar navigation bar. So, now that you’ve removed that page what do you do with it?
Vered, from MomGrind, wanted to remove her Legal page from the sidebar. She then added a link to the page in her footer.
I have a number of pages that aren’t in my header navigation. They are pages that I want to include on my site but aren’t important enough to warrant a prominent location. So, where are they? Most of them are on the sidebar under the headings “Bookmarks”, and “Lifestream”.
The list of links that starts at Bookmarks and ends with Tumblr are all links included in my Links or Blogroll section of WordPress. They are divided into segments because I have assigned categories to my Links. I know, I know – categories for links are different than categories for posts and using the same term for both is confusing.

This week’s (Anti) Social List covers healthcare coverage, blogger hate mail, an enormous list of links WordPress developers, a list of gorgeous icons from deviant art, RSS feeds for job seekers, and a beginner’s tutorial to using WordPress.
- What US healthcare will look like: Obama vs. McCain – Siel discusses what we know about healthcare coverage under both presidential candidates. We know a lot about McCain’s policies but many of Obama’s are unknown. The article focuses on California but health care is an important issue for all.
- Hate Mail: Apparently I’m a Bad Mom – Vered shares a piece of hate email she received and how the anonymous emailer accused her of being a bad mother because she doesn’t write about her children on her blog. Ridiculous!
- WordPress Developer’s Toolbox – Smashing Magazine released the WordPress Developers Toolbox an organized list of development resources for WordPress. I have only started reading the articles but have already discovered SO much useful information.
- 40+ Beautiful Icon Sets Hand-picked from deviantART- Part 2 – Noupe lists some gorgeous icon sets from deviant art. There is something useful for everyone on this list. Unfortunately, after reading the list, I went to deviant art and spent way too long looking at icons and wallpapers and photos and more.

So, I am shamelessly plugging myself by linking to Kristen King’s write-up about me, Upgrade Complete! Meet the Brilliant Mind Who Made it Possible, at Inkthinker and Siel’s recommendation of my work at Green La Girl. If you need some help with WordPress, contact me via the information in the sidebar and we will work something out.
