As the little thing below this post shows, I’ve got my linklog working, and, as it also says, it was all down to Matthew Mullenweg posting his index.php in the WordPress wiki for me, and anyone else for that matter, to dissect for my own uses.
How is it done? Well simply, it’s just another category that been told to be displayed differently from the rest… I also exluded the category from being shown at the sidebar so I could add the link up top, so job done (almost), now I just need to find a suitable image to change the list bullet point to and mess with a few CSS settings… But as it’s 2:30am almost, and that’s a job for another day… Along with the permalinks change.
