Pam,
I'm sure you know what links are in the generic Internet sense and that you understand what it means to 'bookmark a page'.
At the top of each page, you will see 3 or 4 icons like this:
Here on the site, you have the ability to create your own list of bookmarks to things that you use often. The 3rd icon represents a piece of chain, or links. If you have set up any bookmarks in your profile, they would appear in a small drop-down menu when you click on the symbol.
With me so far? If so, I'll continue on as to how to set these up. If you're not clear, let me know where you're having difficulty.
