On the links page, the Top ten of all links are displayed below the cateogries.
If you add links, you have to fill in all fields except the category field. You can add links without a category by selecting "Other" but dont enter any text in the field provided. If you add links without a category the top ten are not displayed. Instead, the links that dont have a category are displayed.
