Whats the difference?
You don’t have to add links in LINKS section, instead of that you have to put the Link URL and Link Name in the widget, it will do the rest. Also, you will get an option to select the numbers of links to display.

I was looking for a widget to replace the “Blogs I Follow” widget on a WordPress.com site and this was perfect. No coding necessary, so it will be easy for my client to add more links themselves. A really great widget. Thank you.
Was struggling to add a link in a sidebar and failing miserably. Added your plugin and it worked like magic. *mwah* Thank you so much for this!
thanks
There should be a reason for creation of a plugin and what I expect from a link widget plugin is a wide variety of options for style and beautification of links in widget area (like animated up-down rollover or css stylish hover). This plugin shows links in a very basic html way and made a distortion in widgets’ area which I could put my links easier using WP text widget and the below code (as many as I need):
