If your blogroll is too long, you can use the limit feature (in the settings) to limit the list to the 5 or 10 or whatever most recent posts.

If that’s not what you want, then take a look at Anne’s comment and my reply, about 5 comments earlier than yours (on Dec 29, 2010). Thanks.

Is there a way to use this plugin on a page instead of having it in the sidebar? I am tired of my blogroll taking up so much room on my sidebar, I would prefer to put it on a separate page.

Thank you.

I don’t know that it makes your blog any worse or any better. What the “nofollow” will do is prevent the search engines from counting your blog as a supporter of the other sites. Maybe I should look into how it would improve a blog to add “nofollow”.

If you do want to add it, there are two links to the other sites: one for the main site and one for the most recent post. So you’ll need to add rel=”nofollow” to line 153 for the generic link and line 157 for the specific link (and line 132 to cover all the possible options).

Hello, this is the plugin I’ve been searching for! I added to my website (which is still under construction due to theme change). Someone told me that I should add “rel=”nofollow” attribute” to my blogroll to make my site better. Do you think it is necessary? Should I add it to this plugin’s php? If yes, which line should I add it?

[...] SBS Blogroll To kill off the list of dead links on your side bar! Let’s face it, you don’t have time to check every link on your blogroll to see they’re still working, do you? Besides, even if you use a tool like broken link checker, you know nobody clicks those links! So here’s a nice little gadget, it pulls the RSS feeds of your favorite blogs and lists 10 of the latest ones in your sidebar, with headings, authors, dates, the lot. A lot more attractive than an obscure list of obscure blogs – and, no updates, no links! [...]

awesome – thanks, the 0 padding got rid of the green bars.

Any place you can put a WordPress widget, you can use this blogroll. I’ve only ever seen widgets used in sidebars though, so I think it wouldn’t be able to go in a page by itself.

Wait, here’s something that might work – look at http://webdesign.anmari.com/1649/shortcode-any-widget/ for an idea of how to do what you want. Although I must say that I have no experience with that plugin so you’re on your own with it.

I love the way this works, it’s exactly what I’m looking for, but I was wondering if it’s possible to put this on a page instead of in a sidebar. I’m making a blogroll page on my blog and want it to display a dynamic list of feeds. Thanks!!

Looks like the green ball is caused by the file http://dboptimizer.com/wp-content/themes/sdv2/img/icons.gif

I could get it to go away by setting the left padding to zero instead of 22px (padding-left for #sidebar li around line 491 of your style.css file).

Or you could remove the reference to img/icons.gif in the #sidebar li section of style.css

That will affect the other items in your sidebar, so you might want to add a new section for .SBSBlogroll ul li and change the padding and/or background there.

PS any ideas on ways to get rid of the green ball to the left of each blog roll entry? (seems to waste space and if I using their blog icon, then visually the equivalent is already there)

Thanks!
