<p>Adds a section to the bottom of your pages and posts listing any external<br />
links.</p>
<p>Only links starting with http or https are included so ftp, mailto, etc<br />
will not be included in the list; although it would be pretty trival to<br />
edit the plugin to allow them to. Likewise any links that start with your<br />
blog URL are also excluded.</p>
