A WordPress plugin I’ve written with the co-operation of the kind folks at the
Libraries Interact blog makes it possible to take links listed in your Blogroll, using the
Links Manager, and create a
Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) automatically.
Features of the plugin include:
- Grouping links into categories
- Distinguishing between links that are considered “live” and those that are “abandoned”
- Control over the text displayed to the user for various user interface elements
- Managing the colour of elements in the CSE search results display
The plugin is currently in use by the
Libraries Interact blog to power the list of blogs on the
Aussie Library Blogs page.
Latest Updates:
- Compatibility updates for WordPress 2.7
- Add optional link to plugin page when list of links is displayed
Known Issues:
- The Google CSE search form will only work if you're using permalinks
Full installation directions are available at the
plugin homepage.
