Personally haven’t run across this in the past…. Did you consider contacting the site’s author/maintainer and asking how it was done?

Actually, I think it was a blogger platform blog.

Hi,
I wanted to share with you that I have figured out how to do this.
First of all, create separate categories for each group of blogs beginning with each letter of the alphabet for which you have blogs; for example: blogs_a, blogs_d, etc, and make note of the category id WordPress assigns to each one.
Edit your sidebar.php file where you want the blogroll to appear and insert this code:
<h2>Great Blogs (or whatever you want to call them)</h2>
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(‘category=7&categorize=0&title_li=0′); ?>
replace the “7” in the string “category=7” with each new blog category you want to present and insert the
codes to separate each group.
That’s it!
I just combined prazim’s code explanation of wp_list_bookmarks, with Otto’s PHP Code executing widget:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/php-code-widget/
This is the first time I’ve been able to separate my bookmarks by category, into different sidebars, using Widgets. (Normally I just don’t even use widgets, the code is easier for me, but in this case I needed the widgets for a client site to make it easier for them to shift the puzzle pieces around).
I just put that code right into the PHP widget.
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('category=7&categorize=0&title_li=0'); ?>
Oh, I added a few more parameters that I heard about here:
