Our SB_Review WordPress plugin allows you to turn your blog into a powerful review engine and gives your visitors the chance to rate your entries based on various categories. Also it includes some basic fraud protection to ensure the same visitor does not rate multiple times on a post but still can post comments. The overall score of a post is stored as custom field within each post which allows custom queries to be made in order to display highest rated lists or simply sort the posts by their rating. It's still very basic but shall be improved with the time.

As i want to use the integrated blogroll feature of wordpress to create our web development link directory i was searching for a nice way to show the blogroll as a nice hierarchical, categorized list of links on their own page, sadly i could not find any ready plugin that does the job, so i scribbled down a tiny plugin today which provides a template tag that can be used in the blogroll template

The outcome of this plugin can be found at sourcebench's linklist

This plugin is for now not more than a working prototype but if there is any need and requests for such a plugin i am willing to put some more effort into this plugin and make a stable version out of it that is user proof.

So, if you are interested in this "sb_blogroll" plugin, give me a short note!
