    You can hide stuff by adding style "display: none"

    <a style="display: none;" href="page.html">Link</a>

    It really scares me that somebody who doesn't know how to edit a template is going to be hiding their links.

    The only, possible explanation is somebody's trying to either make their site the least usable website ever, or they're thinking they're gonna get rich on text link ads and buy an island in the bahamas and retire at 30.

    Although this is possible using the aforementioned code, please please answer me: Why on earth would you desire to hide your links? Is there *any* valid or reasonable explanation for making the links in a hypertext document indiscernible?

    The code is very simple, add this to your css file

    But... I don't think it's a good idea to do so, that might make visitors not able to figure out links, and end up Pah~ close the page.

    It is not good for you to hide links. In this way, you will loose some of your loyal visitors when they will not be able to figure out links properly.

    a good way to hide them is to use the same color as the background in your css or insert some 'line break' tags at the end of your website(about 50) and after that add the links.

    Just a heads-up, hiding links is not an ethical SEO practice. So if you are using Google Adsense to monetize your blog, you could get banned. I don't know if this is a concern for you but I thought that I would mention it.
