I have a small website that is only accessed by family and friends. I use Wordpress to drive the site as a whole, but I would like to add a component that has links to various things around the net. The Wordpress link manager is ok, but I am looking for something a little more roboust, that I could use. Maybe something with a MySQL backend that would allow me to manage and display the links in categories show descriptions and and that would allow a user to search for a particular link.

Does anybody have any suggestions for such an application?

Thanks,
JD

Hmm.. That wouldnt be too hard of a thing to make, do you have any background in PHP/mySql? If you do I can guide you in the right direction on how to do it, but otherwise another good idea is to check out hotscripts, just search for a link manager. Hope this helps.

Why don't you just make a static page up and add your links there?

M3 - I don't have that much backround in php/mysql other than just manapulating existing code. I'll give hotscripts a try.

bluedreamer - The reason I just don't use a static page is because I have 70-100 links at any given time, and I would prefer not to have to worry about formatting each time I have to enter or delete a link.

Thanks for the replys.

you can use www.esyndicat.com

There are plenty of social bookmarking sites you can employ... why not use http://del.icio.us/ or http://ma.gnolia.com/, for example.

Some of them even have simple API's you can use / call from with your html.
