   Is there a way to do this?

   I want to wrap the image, title and description of my links with specific css and formatting.

   I want to give the ul a specific id and class and then I want to wrap the image in a span and the title and description in a paragraph tag with a break between them...

   Thanks in advance for any input.

   Have a read of this page in the codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks

   I believe you would be able to accomplish all that you are asking by using this standard function and a bit of xhtml/css.

   I thought each widget had a unique class already? I'm not running that widget to check exactly

   but viewing my source in browser, each widget gets a class like:
   class="widget widget_nameofwidget"

   so maybe blogroll is like class="widget blogroll" or something....you can check for specifics.

   then you can style that classes pseudo selectors

   That's how I style my individual widgets in my css anyway.....

   The default blogroll widget "Links" does not provide very much in the way of CSS identifiers.

   It will use the widget defaults of the theme and adds the wrapper classes:
   xoxo blogroll

   That would be it ... based on the page source from my site where I actually use it. I imagine you could use some javascript is so inclined but I believe making use of wp_list_bookmarks() may be much easier to implement.

   Thanks @cais - I ended up pretty much achieving what I wanted with wp_list_bookmarks - however for some reason some of the parameters aren;t working - can you look at this and tell me if it looks right? mainly the orderby and order;

   Oreder of my result is always the same, and te updated time stamp never shows up, despite me setting it to 1

   Thanks

   <?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_li=&categorize=0&category=1864&show_name=1&show_description=1&show_updated=1&orderby=updated&order=ASC&between=<br />'); ?>

   What you posted looks fine ... maybe a URL to your blog would show more information.

   I removed orderby and show_updated and now the order actually changed to display the newest bookmark added first on the list - makes no sense to me, but at least it's working the way I want it to...
