Starting up with the blogroll

The WordPress Blogroll is a collection of links to other sites. You can manage these links in the WordPress administration menu where you can add, modify, and delete them. The changes are represented instantaneously on your Blogroll and are visible to the visitors of your site.

WordPress allow us to hook up into the process of preparing the blogroll links just before they are displayed on the site. We will use this as a first step in our plugin, to demonstrate how to fetch the RSS feed from the link and display the title of the first post as a link.

This will make the blogroll look livelier as it will constantly change with the posting of new articles on those sites.
