Outputs your blogroll links as a page or a post. Add the text <code></code> to a page or post and it will output your blogroll links organized by category heading.
In v2.1, two additional configuration options are available from the options page. These are:
<ul>
<li>
Suppress the category display. You may find this useful if you want to move your links to their own page, but you the blogroll categories at your site aren’t meaningful to visitors (or search engines.)
</li>
<li>
Change the display order of links. You can choose a primary and secondary order. Options here include Link ID (this id is internal the wordpress database and generally corresponds to the order the link was added into wordpress), Name (alphabetical), Address (the site URL), or rating.
</li>
</ul>
N.B.: This plugin doesn’t deal well with categories with parent links.
It’s based heavily on Dominic Foster’s original plugin which no longer works as of WordPress 2.3. <a href="http://www.websitehostingiq.net/blogroll-page-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">The original plugin is available here.</a>
<h3>Important Note</h3>
For a fancier version of the same plugin, check out <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/blogroll-links" rel="ugc">Rajiv Pant’s version.</a>
<h3>Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
2.1 – Incorporated additional configuration options using a patch supplied by Mark A. Belcher.
</li>
<li>
2.0 – Initial release
</li>
</ul>

This WordPress Widget allows you to display the recent posts of your blogroll links via RSS Feeds as a sidebar widget or via shortcode <code>[blogroll]</code> in any post or article on every position you want to. 
The Plugin works without Javascript and without AJAX. It uses the WordPress standard links database and honors the 
visible and target settings as defined for each link (private links are not shown, links are displayed in the same or 
in a new window as specified). The Plugin is easy to install, the Widget is simple to use and highly customizable. 
You can simply switch on / off, select or type in the various configurations and settings.
This is based on Blogroll Widget with RSS Feed Plugin from CrazyGirl.
You can configure this Widget in the WordPress Appearance Widgets SubPanel as follows and the shortcode directly from the Menu “Blogroll”:
<ul>
<li>add an own title to the sidebar widget</li>
<li>define how many items you want to display</li>
<li>choose the link category of the items (all links or one of your link categories)</li>
<li>select the item order (link name ascending, link name descending, link id ascending, link id descending, random order)</li>
<li>show the images entered to the respective links or let the plugin generate website thumbnails (via m-software.de)</li>
<li>define the image size</li>
<li>show blogroll links</li>
<li>add the ‘rel=nofollow’ attribute to the blogroll links</li>
<li>define how many feed post links you want to display</li>
<li>choose if you want to shorten the feed post link text and define the length in characters</li>
<li>add the ‘rel=nofollow’ attribute to the feed post links</li>
<li>show feed post excerpts</li>
<li>define how many characters of the feed post excerpt you want to display</li>
</ul>
Before using the Extended Blogroll Widget with RSS Feeds make sure, that you have entered the right RSS Addresses to your links in the Links 
Subpanel. Otherwise this Plugin will not work correctly. No item is shown when no RSS Address is entered! With this you 
have a further possibility to configure the Widget output. When you do not enter a RSS Address to a link, it will not be 
displayed in the Widget.
<h4>Available Languages</h4>
