<p>Blogroll Fun uses a subscription to a free service that allows it to easily determine the last update time and the last post for all of the links in your blogroll without slowing down the loading time of your blog.  It allows you to choose if you want to display this information in your blogroll or not.  It simply replaces the standard wordpress link widget while providing additional functionality.</p>
<p>Blogroll Fun can be compared to the feed reading blogroll.  However, unlike feed reading blogroll the last post information is sent to your blog and stored with your blogroll.  It does not rely on your visitors to load this information, or any javascript tricks.</p>
<p>Settings can be updated by going to manage, widgets, then edit on the links widget.</p>
<p>Currently, no ads are being delivered through this plugin.</p>

<p>WP Social Blogroll adds a social blogroll to your blog. It will follow and display all updates of the sites in your blogroll. See the <a href="http://www.weinschenker.name/plugin-feed-reading-blogroll/" title="visit the development blog" rel="nofollow ugc">plugin page</a> or the <a href="http://www.weinschenker.name/" title="visit the development blog" rel="nofollow ugc">author’s page</a> for more details.</p>
<p>See this <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feed-reading-blogroll/screenshots/" title="example of the WP Social Blogroll" rel="ugc">screenshot</a> for example.</p>
<p>The plugin retrieves the date of the most recent feed-item of the bookmarked site. The feeds must be indexed by Google as the plugin uses <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/" title="Google AJAX Feed API" rel="nofollow ugc">Google’s free AJAX Feed API</a>.</p>
<p>You no longer need a <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/signup.html" title="Google API Key" rel="nofollow ugc">Google API Key</a> to get it to work. If you own an API key, you can use it. But providing a key is optional.</p>
<p>Based on Google’s information, the age of the most recent feed-item is calculated and then displayed under each bookmark in your sidebar.</p>
<p><strong>Your blogroll can be sorted by the freshness of the bookmarks.</strong></p>
<p>Furthermore, the title and author of the freshest post and an icon for each bookmark can be displayed.</p>
