   Thank you.

   Just installed, working like a charm.

   I’ve been using this one for a while, and it quickly became one of my favorite plugins. I’m using it with the classic style (it looks a bit cleaner to only have one link per site) and with icons turned off.

   I wouldn’t worry about the javascript sorting; the plugin has an automatic timeout feature, which defaults to 20 seconds but can be set longer. If you hover over the title of a blog on the list, you’ll see that it blinks until it has updated information.

   The best feature is the bookmark preview. Turn it on on the configuration page by ticking the last box, “Enable bookmark preview”. When a reader clicks on the time of a blog’s last update, the list expands downward, revealing the last four posts from that blog, with a link to each entry. Click again and the list closes back up.

   All in all, an exceptional plugin that is a must-have for my blog.

   I am new to WordPress and it’s format. Just transferred my blog over and installed this on my blog. I wish the blogs in the blogroll would have bolder titles and the latest articles wouldn’t be bold. I am aware that you can personally change this but I am new to the system and not an expert at this and since I had some trouble getting it started don’t want to have to move the files and rewrite the code. At this point I am just happy it is working. Also some of the blogs I have on my list don’t update and they did in Blogger so I am not sure why they are not updating on this system. I love the widget but it is hard for the newbie.

   What I’d like to see is some shortcode that I can use to insert the same on a separate page that will house my blogroll, since I don’t display the same in my sidebar.

   I agree, it is necessary to explain better, how the plugin’s template-tag can be used.

   So I wrote a little tutorial about how to create a linkpage.

   I’d like a sidebar blogroll/feedroll which allows you to only list say five blogs at a time or the five most recently updated. Those long blogroll columns are a real space sucker.

   @olivia: agreed, I will add this feature to the next version.

    C Heck out Linked List. It does same and lets you limit number of posts. I used it without cookies for some time and hope to create a “content” page for a categorized blog roll instead of using space in side bar and causing slower page load.

    Feed Reading Blogroll version 1.2 has the feature of limiting the number of bookmarks (e.g. “only show the five freshest bookmarks in my blogroll”).
