Blogroll Links Page
Outputs your blogroll links as a page or a post. Add the text to a page or post and it will output your blogroll links organized by category heading. In v2.1, two additional configuration options are available from the options page. These are: Suppress the category display. You may find this useful if you want to move your links to their own page, but you the blogroll categories at your site aren’t meaningful to visitors (or search engines.) Change the display order of links. You can choose a primary and secondary order. Options here include Link ID (this id is internal the wordpress database and generally corresponds to the order the link was added into wordpress), Name (alphabetical), Address (the site URL), or rating. N.B.: This plugin doesn’t deal well with categories with parent links. It’s based heavily on Dominic Foster’s original plugin which no longer works as of WordPress 2.3. The original plugin is available here. Important Note For a fancier version of the same plugin, check out Rajiv Pant’s version.

WP Social Blogroll
WP Social Blogroll adds a social blogroll to your blog. It will follow and display all updates of the sites in your blogroll. See the plugin page or the author’s page for more details. See this screenshot for example. The plugin retrieves the date of the most recent feed-item of the bookmarked site. The feeds must be indexed by Google as the plugin uses Google’s free AJAX Feed API. You no longer need a Google API Key to get it to work. If you own an API key, you can use it. But providing a key is optional. Based on Google’s information, the age of the most recent feed-item is calculated and then displayed under each bookmark in your sidebar. Your blogroll can be sorted by the freshness of the bookmarks. Furthermore, the title and author of the freshest post and an icon for each bookmark can be displayed. Get more info at the development blog (feed). Upgrading You are encouraged to use the plugin-upgrade-function that WordPress is offering.
