For people who maintain their Web site or blog using the WordPress blog content management system,

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:

</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>
