<p>This plugin adds a widget to your WPMU blog that allows the blog administrator to display a list of links from any blog on the installation. Imagine, for instance, that Josie is teaching a class in which she and each of her students have individual blogs. Josie’s got a list of important links (a class blogroll, or maybe links that are relevant to the class), and she’d like to share the links with her students. Using this plugin, her students can place a widget on their blogs that automatically pulls in a certain category of links from her blog.</p>
<p>At the moment, the plugin works like this: Drop the Shared Blogroll widget into one of your blog’s sidebars. You’ll need to know the blog_id of the blog from which you’ll be pulling the links. (This is the big weakness in the plugin for now. For the moment, I’ll probably add a line of code to the Dashboard that echoes the global $blog_id, so that blog owners will know their blog_id and be able to pass it along to other who want to share their links. In the future I may add autocomplete or something. If you have a suggestion, let me know.) Once you’ve entered the source blog id, the plugin automatically populates the Category dropdown list with the categories from the source blog, so if you only want to include one of the link categories you can. You can have as many shared blogroll widgets on a blog as you’d like.</p>

<p>Creates three shortcodes – [bookmarks], [links] and [blogroll] – that will generate an unordered list of your WordPress links.<br />
Preforms the same function as <code>wp_list_bookmarks()</code>.</p>
<p>You can any of the shortcodes within a post, page, media, text widget, etc.<br />
This makes it much more flexible then using the default Links page template that may be included in your theme as you can add other content surrounding the list, also when you change themes there is no need to edit the page.</p>
<p>You can customize the output of the list by using the same arguments that are accepted by the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_list_bookmarks/" rel="nofollow ugc">wp_list_bookmarks()</a> function.<br />
Example: <code>[bookmarks show_images=0 show_ratings=1 show_name=1 ]</code></p>
