 * First, a note on terminology: Pages and Archives are not “link categories.” “
   Links” in WordPress often has a very specific meaning, and refers to those set
   up under the Links Manager (available under Links in WordPress).
 * If you want more “Link” categories, you can set them up under Links > Link Categories.
   Then when adding a link, you can select which category to organize it under.
 * Most members use the template tag get_links_list() to display links on their 
   blog organized under each link category. You can learn more about it here:
