   I've been looking around for a way to include a ID or Class to the link generated by the wp_list_bookmarks.

   I thought I could use the "notes" area to store the name of the ID (or Class).

   I was the trying to filter this into the wp_list_bookmarks via my functions.php, but my PHP skills are too few, so I ended up with hacking the core file bookmark-template.php by adding this snippet around line 90.

   $id = $bookmark->link_notes;
   if ( '' != $id )
   $id = ' id="' . $id . '"';

   and putting the $id in the output a few lines down.

   Sure it works, but can anyone point out if it is possible to do this via the functions.php instead of this non-bulletproof method?

   Thanks

   ok so i found a solution to get ID's/classes added to my links, but i had to use get_bookmarks instead of wp_list_bookmarks ... the method i used is based on this dude's custom array found here

   here's what i came up with:

   <?php
   $bookmarks = get_bookmarks( array('category_name'=>'About'));
   foreach ( $bookmarks as $bookmark ) {?>
   <li id="link-<?php echo $bookmark->link_id; ?>">
   <a title="<?php echo $bookmark->link_name; ?>" href="<?php echo clean_url($bookmark->link_url); ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $bookmark->link_name; ?></a>
   </li>
   <?php } ?>
