How to edit links widget or how to have links in sidebar of page?

I am using the links widget to put links on the left hand side of my page in order to provide easy navigation for visitors. I know how to change the category the links are tied to so that the title of the links is not "blogroll but instead whatever i choose. How can I remove the title of the links all together? So that the links are just listed in the lefthand side of the page. If i cant do that, what is the best way to list links to different internal and external pages in my sidebar? Thanks.
