To preface my comment, I should note that I am extremely new to wordpress. I just recently downloaded RecLinks in the hopes of creating a site very similar to digg, reddit, fark, etc. I've been able to put the proper widgets on the sidebars and so forth, but when I submit a link to the site, nothing appears on the page. Is this normal? Is there something that I'm missing that would otherwise allow the submitted links to appear as a standard post much like a link submitted to reddit or fark would?

Thank you in advance.

From the admin screen, there's an options page in the menu ( under Reclinks > Plugin Settings ). If you visit that options page, the first option is titled Page for Recommended Links Archive:, and whatever you select there will be the page where all links posted are displayed. That's the simplest way to get started, The other way, involving using the default WordPress archive pages, requires some theme customization in order to work.

There's more information on the wiki if you want to read more.
