I want to display my blogroll - on a WP page - per category (separately - like: category 1 at the top of the page, category 2 at the bottom) - sorted by date Can someone tell me how to get this done. I've been looking all over, but culdn't find what I needed..
Thats not too hard to do. You can set the parameters when you call wp_list_bookmarks so that the default settings aren't used. Can you clarify exactly what you mean. Do you want links to be listed in category order? If so, wordpress already does this. You just need to make sure each blogroll link is attached to a category and the wp_list_bookmarks function will list each link under the appropriate heading.
You can use this plug in: http://tech.windsofstorm.net/wordpress/drop-links-widget/ *Morgans Replacement Link Widget* It will allow you to have multiple links widgets that you either display all categories, or display multiple link widgets and display individual categories, so that you can display link widgets in different locations of the sidebars. You can also display your links as a drop down menu, with or without a header.
