For people who maintain their Web site or blog using the WordPress blog content management system, 
blogroll-links is an open source WordPress plugin that uses WordPress’ built-in Blogroll feature and presents links to friends’ home pages and own pages on social networking sites using XFN in the links.
Features of this plugin
<ul>
<li>It can show the links by category in blog posts and WordPress Pages.</li>
<li>It uses WordPress’ standard built-in Blogroll links database. There is no hassle of another list of links to maintain.</li>
<li>It can be used to show only the links assigned to a particular category, by stating the category slug as defined in that category’s setting in WordPress.</li>
<li>It honors the Show/Hidden setting as defined for each link in WordPress.</li>
<li>It displays the link in the same window or new window, as specified for each link in WordPress.</li>
</ul>
To learn more about this plugin, please read my blog post about it titled

Examples
See this plugin in action at the following Posts and Pages powered by WordPress:
<a href="http://www.rajiv.com/friends/" rel="nofollow ugc">www.rajiv.com/friends/</a>
The two lists, first one of links to my own pages on various social networking sites and the second one of links to some of my friends’ pages are generated by this plugin. Yes, those social networks’ logo pictures are also taken by the plugin from the WordPress standard Blogroll links. Code:
<pre><code><h3>My Pages on Social Networking Sites</h3>
</code></pre>
Syntax:
<pre><code>[blogroll-links categoryslug="rajiv-web" sortby="link_name" sortorder="desc"]
</code></pre>
Old syntax for legacy support: 
 
<pre><code><h3>Web Sites of Some People I Know</h3>
</code></pre>
Syntax:
<pre><code>[blogroll-links categoryslug="people" sortby="link_name" sortorder="desc"]
</code></pre>
<a href="http://www.rajiv.com/charity/" rel="nofollow ugc">www.rajiv.com/charity/</a>
This list of charitable organizations with brief descriptions is generated by the plugin. Code:
Syntax:
<pre><code>[blogroll-links categoryslug="charity"]
</code></pre>
<a href="http://www.rajiv.com/blog/2004/08/02/search-engines/" rel="nofollow ugc">www.rajiv.com/blog/2004/08/02/search-engines/</a>
This list of search engines is maintained as Blogroll links in WordPress. Code:
Syntax:
<pre><code>[blogroll-links categoryslug="search-engines"]
</code></pre>
<a href="http://www.rajiv.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">www.rajiv.com/</a>
The featured links shown under the “What’s featured here?” section shows the links I’ve categorized as featured in WordPress’ Blogroll links. Code:
<pre><code><a title="featured" name="featured"></a>

<h2>What's featured here?</h2>
</code></pre>
Syntax:
<pre><code>[blogroll-links categoryslug="featured" sortby="link_name" sortorder="desc"]
</code></pre>
Thanks to Dave Grega, Adam E. Falk (xenograg) for their contributions to this code.

This plugin allows users to display their WordPress links by category through custom fields.
The following gives a step-by-step setup overview:
<ol>
<li>Enable the plugin (check the installation tab)</li>
<li>Go to the page/post where you’d like to place your links/blogroll</li>
<li>Make sure that Custom Fields are visible (on the edit page or post page click on the “Screen Options” in the top right and make sure “Custom Fields” is checked off)</li>
<li>Under CUstom fields click on the enter new link</li>
<li>Enter an ID in the “Name” field – the plugin uses the ID “display_links” as a default</li>
<li>Enter the category name of the links you’d like to display in the “Value” field</li>
<li>Click on the “Add Custom Field” button</li>
<li>Enter the following shortcode into the post content area or the widget area you prefer: <code>[links_by_cat field_id="(ID previously entered in Name field goes here)"]</code>
<ul>
<li>Note that if you used “display_links” in the Name field, you do not need to enter the “field_id” parameter in the shortcode and can simply do: <code>[links_by_cat]</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
The shortcode also supports many other parameters for ordering and structuring your links. All parameters on the list (except “category”) found on the following page are available: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks#Parameters
Other parameter example:
<pre><code>[links_by_cat orderby="rating"] -- This is an example using the orderby parameter from the list. The links will now be ordered by their rating.
</code></pre>
<h4>Added in 1.0.1:</h4>
The ability to display all categories has been added to the shortcode. Simply add: 
 [links_by_cat display_all]
Many bug fixes have also been introduced in version 1.0.1 as well, so please upgrade.
Currently, only one category is supported per Custom Field entry; however, I am looking to update the plugin soon so that it supports multiple categories.
