Wordpress Sidebar links only on home page?

When you put a link in the sidebar, it goes onto every page across your site. How do I only get links to my friends sites on the home page only? Is there a plugin or do I need to do something in the code?

      Many wordpress themes specify their sidebars by calling in

      sidebar.php

      In your single.php (that is what displays single posts), you can simply remove the line that has that call, ie:

      Code:
        <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
      Always make a backup FIRST of any file before you change it, of course.

      Hope that helps!

    He doesn't want to remove the sidebar completely - he wants to display links "conditionally":
    if on home/main page --> yes
    if everywhere else --> no

    If using widgets... then I recommend the plugin above.

    If you are not using widgets and want to code it manually, you need to modify the sidebar.php code, using conditional tags.
