<p>The plugin re-activates the long forgotten <a href="https://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/" rel="nofollow ugc">blogroll or links</a> section of WordPress in order to turn your site to an <a href="http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/001148" rel="nofollow ugc">rss2email</a>-like service.</p>
<h4>How it works:</h4>
<ul>
<li>all links that has their RSS link filled in will pull the RSS feed of those sites</li>
<li>those links that does not yet have RSS will be parsed as <a href="http://microformats.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Microformats 2</a>
<ul>
<li>in case the site has an RSS alternate link, the plugin will fill this information in and use the RSS instead of the microformats parser</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>the link names will be updated based on the feed name automatically</li>
<li>all the parsed entries since the last check will be sent to the link owner’s email address as HTML mails with the following additional header:
<ul>
<li><code>X-RSS-ID</code> with the link URL</li>
<li><code>X-RSS-URL</code> with the link URL</li>
<li><code>X-RSS-Feed</code> with the feed URL</li>
<li><code>User-Agent</code> with blogroll2email,</li>
<li>these are in place in order for filter script to work</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>the revisit time is 30minutes ( not changeable yet )</li>
<li>the plugin uses WordPress Cron</li>
</ul>

<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 2.2+ or 2.0.x/2.1.x with WordPress Widgets</li>
<li>PHP 4.3.0 or greater (needed for function file_get_contents)</li>
<li>Your Google Reader User ID</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Displays your latest shared items from Google Reader</li>
<li>Completely customizable display</li>
<li>Caching for large traffic sites</li>
</ul>
<h4>User ID</h4>
<p>In order to get your shares, you need to know your user id according to Google Reader. This can be found by going to the ‘Shared Items’ link, and copying the 20 digit number at the end of your shared items link.</p>
<p>So something like:<br />
http://www.google.com/reader/shared/02774557510273097991<br />
Where 02774557510273097991 would be my user id.</p>
<h3>Formatting</h3>
<p>There are 3 parts needed to format the output.</p>
<p>The first part, called items start in the admin panel, is the first part of the widget after the title. For the default formatting, this is just <ul>.</p>
<p>The second part, called items end, is the ending of the widget. By default, this is:<br />
</ul><br />
<a href=”%googlereader%” style=”float:right;”>Shared Items</a></p>
<p>The third part is what is called for each item. By default, this is:<br />
<li style=”list-style-type: none;”><a href=”%link%”>%title%</a></li></p>
<p>The premise of calling each value is this:</p>
<ol>
<li>start</li>
<li>item</li>
<li>item</li>
<li>…</li>
<li>item</li>
<li>end</li>
</ol>
<p>The formatting for items is:</p>
<ul>
<li>%link% – Link to the item</li>
<li>%title% – Title of the item</li>
<li>%site% – The title of the site the item is from</li>
<li>%sitelink% – The link to the site the item is from</li>
<li>%number% – The number of the current item</li>
<li>%comment% – The comment (note) made when sharing an item</li>
</ul>
<p>The formatting for start and end is:</p>
<ul>
<li>%googlereader% – Link to your Google Reader shared page</li>
<li>%count% – Number of items shown</li>
</ul>
