Buddy Love WordPress Widget allows you to display a configurable number of the latest headlines from sites in your WordPress blogroll. If you have specified a picture in the “Image Address” field for each link in your blogroll, the custom picture will appear to the left of headlines pulled from that site. The plugin makes use of caching, so it is extremely fast.
Some Features:
<ul>
<li>Each site can have its own icon shown beside its headlines.</li>
<li>The links can be set to “nofollow” if your headlines are coming from paid sources.</li>
<li>The number of links shown is configurable.</li>
<li>Buddy caches your feeds to keep things running fast and smooth.</li>
</ul>

In WordPress 3.5, the Link Manager (which some use to build blogrolls) will 
be disabled by default. If you have links when you update, it’ll still be there. 
But you can use this plugin to ensure it will always be there, even if you 
update to a later version of WordPress or remove all of your current links.

Link Manager

Works on WP 6.1

Enables the Link Manager that existed in WordPress until version 3.5.
