Blogroll Links

Display your blogroll links anywhere in posts or pages using a simple shortcode.

<p>Noio Iconized Bookmarks has 3 functions:</p>
<h4>List bookmarks with favicons</h4>
<p>Upon activation there is a function available that works just like WordPress’ built-in <code>wp_list_bookmarks</code>. The function is called <code>list_iconized_bookmarks()</code>, and it takes the same arguments as the original. The function takes images from the <em>link_image</em> field of each link. The images are displayed in front of the link, with <code>class="favicon"</code>, and it is up to the user to define a proper style.</p>
<h4>Iconized Links Widget</h4>
<p>There is also a replacement Links widget available, to get iconized bookmarks into your blogroll. This widget has one option, which is the arguments string, with the same <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks"" rel="nofollow ugc">arguments</a> that are passed to <code>wp_list_bookmarks</code>.</p>
<h4>Iconizing</h4>
<p>Iconizing might be a bit of a stupid name, but what this function does is add favicon-URLs to each of your links’ image fields! So you can just add a bunch of links to your blogroll, then run the plugin, and all favicons will be correctly set. You can start the plugin from the N.I.B. (Noio Iconized Bookmarks) panel in the settings panel.</p>
