I had been searching for about 2 hours, doing all manor or Google cursing trying to find a way to list a certain blogroll category in a page or post. A site that i had made needed to have a list of artists it plays on the radio and have that list be link. Well, this is easily accomplished by having little monkeys enter in the info for you for every single artist and then updating that page on a whim, but we have no monkeys and it needed to be dynamic.
So I came across some plugins but they were either outdated or really hard to use. Then I stumbled upon Dominic Fosters plugin to do this very thing. Thank heavens, I was about to just go onto xbox live and slap some n00bs on swat. But I digress.
This plug in is a breeze to use. it is called quite normally “Blogroll Page Plugin” and it does just that.
Couple of things I mod’d on this plug in were the actual category that it pulls up from my blogroll.
Instead of having it automagically pull up the actual blogroll category of ‘2′, I changed it in the code towards the bottom where it says:
add_filter('the_content', 'bp_text', 2);
was changed to reflect my certain category of “Artists” which had the number ‘11′ associated with it.
add_filter('the_content', 'bp_text', 11);
I only state this because there might be some of you who need to do this and this makes it easier to find and change to reflect your needs as well.

Good job Dominic, good job.
