As I build up my archives, I plan to add introductory text at the top of each category page.

I think it’ll be useful for highlighting specific content for that category, but also as a way to introduce people to what they’re going to find there.

You can download the plugin on the install it and activate it. Once that is done, you will be able to use a function below wherever you want on your theme.

<?php wp_zoc_powerblogroll(); ?>

To put it on a separate page, you will have to create a page template including this line and create a page with that template. Hope it helped.

Also, if you want another entry for that nice blogroll of yours, feel free to reply via e-mail.

Sorry, but I didn’t understand your offer, could you explain it. Feel free to mail me if you want.

Cheers!

And how?

Also, if you want another entry for that nice blogroll of yours, feel free to reply via e-mail.

Thanks,
Herbert

I never click on the blogroll or archives either typically. Nice to see Search-This in there :D

I also have a seperate blogroll page in my personal blog: http://www.ilovecode.com/sites-i-like/

I know, it is hard to be motivated to click on a date or a just blog name. That is why I decided to use all the fields on the blogroll object and show notes and all, I think is a better service for the readers.

I saw you blogroll page today, very nice (although it’s a pitty Zo’C isn’t there yet :-) .

As soon as the code for the template leaves the beta stage I’ll publish it, so more people can use it.

I love your blogroll!

Thanks!

Do you need to do that manually, or is there a plugin that makes it easier to add/remove/manage the blogroll?

Neither! It is a page with a tailor made template that retrieves the info from the wordpress native blogroll.

You might have noticed that the WP native blogroll have spaces for feed, description, notes, favicon, etc. I just did a customized layout that takes advantage of them all. The hardest part was to fill all that info that (as most users) I kept empty.
