Description of ThemeHybrid Blogrolls
The ThemeHybrid framework for WordPress is a basic theme you can use to create a custom WordPress theme. You can also use ThemeHybrid with child themes for further customizations. Child themes retain certain elements of the primary framework but add additional styling features. The blogroll for WordPress works with ThemeHybrid as it does with all other WordPress themes.

The ThemeHybrid Blogroll
-
The ThemeHybrid framework for WordPress utilizes the WordPress core blogroll system, with a built-in bookmark manager widget. The blogroll is intended to be a collection of links to websites and blogs you read frequently, but you can use the system to add any links, including those to your social networking profiles and related sites.
Bookmark Widget
-
The ThemeHybrid bookmark widget can be inserted into any widgetized section of the theme, including the sidebar and footer. The widget includes a display options panel that lets you customize the appearance of the links, including the widget title, the order of the links, the amount of space between them, and the rating. You can also choose to show the image associated with the link, as well as the link description.
To get started with the bookmark widget, click on the "Widgets" panel in the WordPress admin menu, and then drag the "Bookmark" widget to the desired section. The options box will appear. Choose the options for displaying the links and click "Save."

Adding Blogroll Links
-
Because the ThemeHybrid blogroll uses the default WordPress system, you'll use the WordPress link manager to add links. To add a link, click on the "Links" menu in the admin menu, and then click on "Add New." Title the link, and then add the URL. Choose the link category and create a description, if desired, and then select the default link opening option. Choose whether the link opens in a new window or tab, or the same window or tab. Click on "Add Link" to create the blogroll link.
Editing Blogroll Links
-
If you want to edit an already published link, or remove one altogether, click on the "Links" menu, and then click "All Links." Here you'll see the entire list of links in your ThemeHybrid blogroll.
Click on "Edit" next to a link, and then edit the desired field. If you'd prefer to temporarily deactivate the link, check the box next to "Keep Link Private" and click "Save."
