 * Hi!
    Is there a way to show the categories names in the ‘links section’ generated
   by wp-links on the blog main page? Like: Blogs blog1.com blog2.com CSS Reference
   w3c.org bookofstyles.com Templates halfwaygully.com blabla.etc

 * Hi,
    Yes you can. If you do something like this: <pre>
    - <?php echo get_linkcatname(1); ?>
 *  -  <?php get_links(1, '
    - ', '
    - ', '', 0, '_updated', 0, 0, -1, -1)?>
 *  - <?php echo get_linkcatname(2); ?>
 *  -  <?php get_links(2, '
    - ', '
    - ', '', 0, '_updated', 0, 0, -1, -1)?>
 * </pre>

 * Similar question:
    What are the parameters that < ?php get_links ( ) takes…trial
   and error was taking too long:).

 * If you take a look at the php file in wp-links it’s documented in the code. However
   this is horrible! Real documentation is coming soon, I’m anticipating .72 being
   mostly tweaks and documentation, with any major new features coming in .73. I
   can promise that `get_links` is going to be simpler in the future though.

 * Yes, you can’t copy and paste code directly from the forum. I’m working on this.
