Displaying Link Lists on Your Site

With the different options you have available with the Link feature (categories, images, RSS feeds, and so on), you can display a simple listing of links in your sidebar by using widgets, or you can create a full page dedicated to your links in your Dashboard’s link lists.
Some site owners use the Link feature to create a full-blown link directory on
their sites, which you can easily do by using link categories, images, descrip-
tions, and so on. Following the instructions provided in this chapter, you
can create your link categories, add your links to the categories, and then
display them on a page by using different template tags that are available in
WordPress.

A page of resource links on a business Web site. You
can create this kind of page by using the Image Address on the Add New
Link page in your Dashboard, discussed previously in this chapter. Figure
6-6 shows another way of displaying a listing of links that appears more like
a directory than just a simple list. This page was made possible by creating
several link categories, assigning links to the categories, and then (with a

simple WordPress template tag and a little CSS magic) creating the page to display the links like a directory page.
