how to create a links page…

Create a new Page Template.
On that Page Template, make a call to your functionality. Say, to wp_list_bookmarks.
Make a new Page that uses that template.

thanks! i’ll give that a try.

i was successful at building a links page https://www.energyanalysis.org/links after adding the following page/code/template (Whatever you call it)…..but how might I remove the round bullets from the link categories on this new page???

<?php
/*
Template Name: Links Page
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="content">

	<div id="contentleft">

	<?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=1&between= - &show_description=1'); ?>

	</div>

	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/l_sidebar.php");?>

	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/r_sidebar.php");?>

</div>

<!-- The main column ends  -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I took your code, made it into a ‘Page Template’, and removed the bullets and made it look all nice and pretty.

<?php
/*
Template Name: Links Page
*/
?>

                <?php get_header(); ?>

                <div id="posts" class="page">

                        <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

                                <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

                                        <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

                                        <div class="entry">

<?php wp_list_bookmarks('&amp;category_before=&amp;category_after=&amp;title_before=<h3>&amp;title_after=</h3>&amp;show_images=0&amp;show_images=1'); ?>

                                        </div>

                                </div>

                        <?php endwhile; ?>

                </div>

                <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

                <?php get_footer(); ?>

                <?php wp_footer(); ?>

        </div>

</body>
</html>

To use it, create a new static page and set ‘Page Template’ to ‘Links Page’. The Page Template setting can be found on the right hand side toolbar in WP 2.7.
