Interesting tidbits from the web, best freeware list and other news
Mar 17
I have been using Wordpress as the engine behind my web log for almost a year now and find it’s been getting better all the time. However, there was one little piece of functionality that was missing for my needs, a way to create a link page from the data I entered in the links section of the admin area. I wanted to display links with large descriptions, a list of all link categories at the top of the page and a way to replace the description with the notes field since the notes field is longer and is contents are not displayed in the links admin page.
After looking around, I decided to create my own plugin to fill in the functionality that I needed. Version 0.1 of the Link Library for Wordpress 1.5 is now available on the official Wordpress plugin site. To see the plugin in action, take a look at the newly revamped links section on the site.
If there is anything you would like to see that is not there, feel free to drop me a note.

Awesome plugin, going to give it a try!
Unable to download your plugin. When I click the “Wordpress plugin site” link above, I get:
Trac detected an internal error:('Attempted to get length of a *non*-file node', 160017)
and

What theme are you using? Downloaded or self-made? I like the full-width style of it, and I’m looking for something similar to work with for my own site. Nice plugin, btw!
Hi, The Link Library plugin is a feature that I have been looking forward for a long time. I installed it, but I am unable to get the notes function to display. In fact, I even enabled $show_notes parameter as true. Can you tell me how I could get it working?

Can you tell me how this works? I’ve uploaded the plugin to my plugin directory and activated it but I don’t know how to add a function call. I’m php challenged!
Thanks

I think this plugin does not work in WP2.0.
