WP Render Blogroll Links
If you have many contacts and you wish to put everybody in your blogroll, obviously the list will become too long and take a lot of your sidebar’s space. It also can be very ugly especially if you are not using the correct fonts and everything becomes disorganised. Creating a link page can be a good alternative except that the work of editing the link page time and time again can be very strenuous. So what should you do?
One of the easiest way is to install the WP Render Blogroll Links plugin to your blog. Output your Blogroll links to a Page or Post. Once installed, all you need to do is to create a link page and add the script below [see how to install] to your page all your WordPress Links/Blogrolls will be rendered. This extremely simple plug-in enables you to create your own Link page without having to write a custom template. Everytime you need to update the page, you just need to go to “Edit Link” at your wordpress dashboard and edit it as you are updating your blogroll as usual. It’s so easy and time saving.
The output can easily be styled with CSS. Each category with its links is encapsulated in a DIV with a classname called “linkcat”. All the links are attributed with the class “brlink”.
Additional features:
* Order link items the way you like them
* Can create selection of individual categories by name or ID(s).
* Show descriptions of the links next or under them.
* Option to remove titles from categories .
To Install:
1. Upload/extract the WP-Render-Blogroll folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Place the script below in the post or page you want to use for links and you’re done.

Hey, I saw that you linked to “Hypatia’s Hoard of Reviews” — thank you!
You make an excellent point about blogroll clutter. In “Hypatia’s Hoard of Reviews” I use a Links page accessible from the top menu bar. In “Gaiatribe: Ideas for a Thinking Planet” I use a collapsible Links widget that lists categories; people can click on those to expand and show the available sites in each category.
