  if you're using an [Entry Form - [entries/saveEntry]](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/templating/entry-form) you'll need to pass them in as fields.
  
  For example if you had a text field called "Links" you would need an input like this
  
  ```
  <input type="text" name="fields[links]" value="{{ entry.links }}">
  
  ```
  
  Passing in inputs with the name fields[your\_field\_name] allow it to be picked up and populated correctly.
