Better Blogroll is a plugin created by Jon Dyer to allow bloggers to create a blogroll much different from the default WordPress blogroll abilities.
How is it different? Well, in the widgets, you will select how many links you can show, and if you want the links random order, title acending order, and title descending order. You can even add images to show up by the links and much more. This is all done by marking the checkbox fields in the Better Blogroll widget. This makes it easier for those who do not know how to code, or not able to follow the nifty WordPress tutorials.
The creator also gives a great suggestion on how users can use Better Blogroll as a simple text or image ad rotator too!
I am using Better Blogroll on Blondish.net and have found it to be quite helpful as I really hate to have a long list of links in my sidebar. Of course, I could whip up my own snippet, but choosing this plugin was a great convenience and not much of a hindrance on load time. It also did what I wanted when I have first installed the plugin. I recommend this plugin for anyone that needs something time saving and allow them to organize their blogrolls far more efficiently without being knee deep in code.
Have you tried Better Blogroll? If not, do you try another type of trick or just use the default WordPress blogroll abilities?
Thanks for this one Nile, Im planning to put links on my blogroll and i will be considering this one 😀
by the way, your blogroll is very neat 😀 How I wish I will be included on that list 😀
the wordpress Better Blogroll looks very powerful..I like it
I will try it on my blog
Before I’m using link page plugin for my blogroll. I think I might want to try this one since you have given it a good feedback.
Thanks for sharing info about this plugin. I’ve been using “WP Render Blogroll Links” to automatically create a blogroll links page because I prefer that rather than sitewide links in my sidebar. But the “Better Blogroll” plugin may be a better solution because I really like the idea of rotating links!
Hi, excellent recommendation, I will try better blog roll for sure 🙂
I will try better blogging style for this but it take time to posting.
