Because of ranking or rating issues which I don’t fully understand, I moved my blogroll out of the sidebar and put it in a wp page instead, called LINKS.
Doing this apparently rendered this great plugin useless, since it was designed to work in the sidebar. Is there a way to make the plugin work on a page like it does in the sidebar?
I did that and the wp-wall appeared in the page. Simple mistake. I didn't realize, but should have, that it is the live blogroll behavior that I want to work on the page. I now know how to put wp-wall into a page.
Will you put up the code for live blogroll?
A question, before we go any further. This might sound like a dumb one, but here goes.
I'm guessing that, although the plugin has to be activated, I do NOT use the widget menu to put it in the sidebar. Is that right?
I tried it a couple different ways and it isn't working. I'm not code savy, as you can probably tell. Here's what I'm working with, a snippet from the page. Please show me where the first part and second part are to be inserted, then I can do the rest.

Yes this could work.
Add something like:
<?php if (is_page('links')) WPWall_Widget(); ?>
To the page template of your theme.

lol sorry that was my mistake :)
Live Blogroll could work in your page if you put <span class="livelinks">link</span> around the link.

Mmmm, I'm lost. I dont' have just one link. I have a table with 30 or 40 links in it on one page.
Do you mean I should edit each link on the page with that code? And where [link] appears in your example above, is that where the link url goes?

Using the code in msg #7, which is my blogroll placed in a table format, exactly how is your suggested fix to be implemented?
Sample of my 'links' page below, where my 'blogroll' is displayed, in table format.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
