Blogroll / external links in content
On the new site that I’ve set up for the local WordPress community ( www.wp-pompey.org.uk ) I want to create a page of links to other sites where the information comes from the standard WordPress links. There is a widget that you can use to put your links into a sidebar, but what is there for putting it into the page content? Bobbing Wide investigate…
What we want to achieve is a list of links – formatted in a grid or one per row, with a clickable image and web site name followed by a short description of the site. Giving the reader information to decide whether or not to visit. Note: We’re not really looking for plugins which provide the solution in a widget… but that may be acceptable… we’ll just have to use a sidebar called ‘content’.
Here’s the shortlist – chosen from 111 items.
Well, I was going to try wp-render-blogroll-links, but now I think it’ll be extended-blogroll. More info soon.
I tried extended-blogroll and it wasn’t at all what I expected. back to my first choice then.
So then I tried wp-render-blogroll-links only to discover a conflict between my WordPress shortcode and [ wp-blogroll]. [fob]!
