You can manage a set of links, or a blogroll, using the Links menu in your WordPress.com blog. These links will show up on your blog if you have added the Links Widget from the Appearance -> Widgets page. 

To manage link categories, click the Link Categories option in the Links menu.

After clicking the menu item, the following screen will load.

link-categories-default

To add a new Category, use the Add Category form on the left. Fill out the Category name, a Description (optional), and then click the Add Category button. 

The link categories you have already created will appear in a list on the right. To modify existing link categories, hover over the link category name and then click on the Edit, Quick Edit, or Delete options that appear below it. Link Categories don’t have many options, so Quick Edit will usually be the best choice. 

The Links column on the right shows how many links are using that category. A link category will only show up on your blog if the category has one ore more links. To learn how to assign link categories, see the Edit a Blogroll Link page. If you click on the number listed in the Links column, you will be taken to the Edit Links screen filtered by the Link Category.

Link Categories Screen Options

The Link Categories screen can be configured in different ways using screen options.
