   How do you format the output of the links? Right now it displays the categories as plain text, and I want them to be headings. I also want to enclose the entire widget within a <div>. How do I do this?

   Using the My Link Order widget it will default to putting Header 2 tags around the categories. Surrounding the widget with a div requires changes to the widget_before and widget_after settings in your function.php.

   MyLinkOrder did NOT put an h2 around my code. Looking at the source code shows that it is plain text.

   Here is the site (unfinished) to show you what I mean: Sex, Food, and Rock & Roll

   I don't really know what your theme is doing, but my site is setup to use all the default values and I get the following for one of my link categories:

   <li id="linkcat-16" class="widget wp_widget_mylinkorder">
   <h2 class="widgettitle">Friends</h2>
   
   <ul class='xoxo blogroll'>
   
   .....
   
   </ul>
   </li>

   The Themes and Template forum might be a little more helpful to get things displaying the way you want.

   Ok, I changed stuff in my function.php and got an h2 around my link categories. Now I want to enclose My Link Order in a unique div so I can give it a graphical header. I tried putting it in the widget_before/widget_after settings and it just put it around the entire set of widgets. Is there a way to define what goes directly before and after this widget alone?

   With widgets the before and after settings apply to all widgets, no good way around it. If you want to customize things in a way that widgets can't handle you'll either have to hack it into the plugin or unwidgetize your sidebar.

   Froman118,
   Very basic problem here: I installed My Link Order in WP 2.7, everything looks right. But clicking the "order buttons" does nothing, either for re-ordering categories or links within categories.

   Must be something simple, right?

   Not quite sure what to tell ya. It's really simple Javascript so you might have another program screwing with the jQuery inclues.

   Froman118,

   Embarrassing as it is to own up to a certain level of unlearned newbyness-- I forgot to add the "My Link Order" widget to my sidebar in the widgets control screen.

   Actually found the answer here:

   Very nice app. I've bought you a beer.
