 * Hello Yannick,
   before starting and try the Link Library, I do have a question,
   please.
 * Is it possible to get a random link out of the entire library and/or even a specific
   library category?
   I like to create a blog ring and want a web part that will 
   show one or three random blogs out of the link library.Many thanks for letting
   me know.CheersYogie

 * I think I did find already the answer….
   [link-library maxlinksoverride=1 linkorderoverride
   =”random” categorylistoverride=”28″]

 * And I found out, rather than using all these overrides at a shortcode, I can 
   simply reference a setting having all these parameters predefined and just call
   that setting 
   [link-library settings=”2″] But how do I create a new setting for
   the same library? I cannot find a button to add a new set of settings for an 
   existing library. When I increase the number of libraries, I do have more setting
   pages, but I bet the new setting is then just for the new library. The naming
   of the options/features is very confusing, or we can’t have multiple (different)
   settings per library? You call libraries and settings but at the end I cannot
   assign a link to a specific library?

 * Links all live in one “bucket” of links. The different libraries / settings are
   different configurations that are made to display some of all of the links from
   the general bucket. So when you use the settings parameters on the shortcode,
   you are selecting a configuration / library.
 * Does that help understand?
