Grouped Links Widget can use any number of widget instances to group links by their associated link categories. This adds a bit more CMS functionality to WordPress.
If the blogroll is grouped into link categories and each category contains internal tag references, then you can flexibly group link categories and put these link groups into your sitebar(s). This, of course, works with traditional external links put in a blogroll too.
Each group of link categories can be sorted by name acending or decending. If simple sorting doesn’t fit to your desired order to be appear in the sidebar, then create more than one link group and place them in the sidebar as you wish.
In order to adapt Grouped Links Widget to different HTML theme codes, HTML tags can be set for each link group and for each title within the link group. However, default values should work with most themes.
Grouped Links Widget is a simple widget, it mainly uses wp_list_bookmarks. Version 2.0 was completely refactored in order to adapt to the new WordPress 2.8 multi widget technique. If you want to add more functionality, don’t hesitate to modify the code. 😉

Blogroll Dropdown is a widget that places your blogroll links as a dropdown box helping you to save space in your widget area. Since the Link Manager is by default disabled in newer versions of WordPress, Blogroll Dropdown will activate it again to let you manage your links.
The plugin lets you select which links category you’d like publish as a dropbox. Alternatively you can publish all your links regardless of categories.
Blogroll Dropdown is a modification of the seemingly abandoned H. T. Si’s Dropdown Links Widget, making it possible to eliminate the Widget title and have the default option to link to a custom URL instead of being blank and confusing your visitors.
