   I'm looking for a blog roll plugin that you can link to article categories. Meaning that based on the article categories only certain links will be displayed. I'm fairly certain I could do the manual code to get it working but I was hoping there was a plugin out there that would automate this process.

   Any suggestions?

   In the Widgets menu, you can use the widget titled "Categories." Title it anything you want. and you can choose to list how many articles per category if you want.

   I put the Categories widget in my footer if you want to have a look:

   You can also use the Tags widget to generate a tag cloud if you like.

   Correction: I didn't mean you can choose to list how many articles per category as you like. What I meant is You can choose to display how many articles are present in each category. You'll see i in the category widget.

   What I'm looking for is a blogroll plugin that is tied to my article category. So if my article is in the food category I would like only links in the links food category too appear.

   Consider downloading and installing Otto's PHP Code Widget, then something like this code in one of those widgets:

   <?php
   if ( is_category() ) {
   $cat = get_query_var('cat');
   $category=get_category($cat);
   wp_list_bookmarks('category_name='.$category->cat_name); } ?>
   }
   ?>

   Hye Michael. Thats exactly what I was thinking about doing if there wasn't a plugin out there. It would just mean I would have to make sure that my article's categories matched my links catergories.
