Many people have left comments regarding the way that the wp-recent-links plugin works, and about some strange behaviour with Redoable 1.1. There is one main difference between wp-recent-links and my modified version, and that is the way links are displayed and counted in the loop.
The default behaviour of wp-recent-links was such that if you had set your blog to display 10 posts per page, and you then post 3 links, you page would only display 7 posts (plus the 3 links). This was because the links were being included in the post count.
I didn’t really like this, so I started looking at a way to modify it to display the links without affecting the loop post count. At the moment, I’ve achieved this with an additional function in the plugin which effectively stops the post counter in the loop increasing when displaying a link.
It is currently in a working state, I’ve been using it on my blog for a couple of weeks without any problems. But if you find any problems with it please leave a message in the support forum.
At this stage I would recommend that you only test this with Redoable 1.1, and not with other themes (unless, of course, you are up to the challenge). Redoable has builti in support, and once you have uploaded the files and activated the plugin it should be ready to use.
Installation instructions are included with the download package. For any support questions please leave a message in the support forum

Incidentally and while I’m asking for stuff :)
The original instructions, that said how to include this in themes, probably should be included here too. It would be a nice thing is the plugin and the bookmarklet supported a “via” that pulls the referrer but puts it in the text so it can be deleted if not needed. ( http://www.clagnut.com/blog/264/ ).
Have you considered making an option to include the linklog’s RSS in the main RSS or provide an alternate third RSS feed with both things in one?
Also, an option to post to rss the links for the whole day or week at the end would be nice too.
Now a very little design problem with link log: always in IE7 the first line in the link log box is a little bit too deep - here is a screenshot http://maennerseiten.de/link-log-error.jpg
stop - my mistake
seems it was a cache thing - now it works fine
I installed your recent-links version with Redoable 1.1 - in the admin panel all things works fine. But how to show this little “Link Log” box at the top of the frontpage??? Thank you for hints!
I’m getting an error the tables weren’t created.
WordPress database error: [Table ‘dancameron2.dan_recentlinks’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT ID, link_url, link_text, link_caption, link_rel, link_target, link_visible, date_added FROM dan_recentlinks ORDER BY date_added DESC LIMIT 10
What’s the SQL to get these tables created manually?
Yes, that is another option.
I was thinking that I could just modify the sidebar2 and add whatever I wanted to it.
The sidenotes ‘sidebar’ isn’t widget/module enabled at the moment, and therefore is only used for the sidenotes.
Excellent theme. How can I enable the ‘Sidenotes’ sidebar? I found the option to enable it but I’d like to put whatever I want in that spot such as a shoutbox, poll, etc. instead of just picking a category.
Works great Dean! Thanks for your work on this. :)
It was done use a combination of css and code to make them sit next to each other. It is included in the sidebar by default, or alternatively it can be added as a sidebar module (Calendar/Months module)
Yep, its called WP-PostRatings.
Hope that helps. Cheers.
Hi, i’m using your wptheme, is excelent.. but i have two questions.
1.- How you put that “months” menu? (beside the calendar)
2.- That “rate comments” plugin have a name?
Thanks for all!
