 * Hey all, I’m going crazy, all I want to do is echo out a single bookmark in my
   footer. The Codex would have me believe that the best way to go is get_bookmark()
   but I have been banging my head on the wall for an 2 hours trying to figure out
   the proper syntax as the documentation is shall we say “lacking”. there are no
   examples that I can find and I don’t really even know what kind of value to pass
   it.
 * variations I have tried:
 * <?php echo get_bookmark( 1 ); ?>
    <?php echo get_bookmark( ‘1’ ); ?> <?php echo
   get_bookmark( link_id=1 ); ?> <?php echo get_bookmark( ‘link_id=1’ ); ?> <?php
   echo get_bookmark( id=1 ); ?> <?php echo get_bookmark( ‘id=1’ ); ?>
 * If anyone could share I would highly appreciate it. I’ll personally see to updating
   the codex page with whatever I find because it seriously shouldn’t be so difficult
   to find out.

 * It returns an object. This is the correct way to call it:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $bookmark = get_bookmark( 1 );
       echo $bookmark->link_name;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * or:
 *     ```
       <?php echo get_bookmark( 1 )->link_name; ?>
       ```
   
 * to make it a link use this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $bookmark = get_bookmark( 1 );
       echo '<a href="'.$bookmark->link_url.'">'.$bookmark->link_name.'</a>';
       ?>
       ```

 * Thank you VERY much! See, this example needs to be on the Function Reference 
   page for all to find easily. Works perfectly; Thanks again.

 * Does anybody know how to find the single bookmark number?
    get_bookmark( $singlebookmark);
 * Specially when I have a couple of different bookmark categories.
