    1414There are many ways to make a link blog, and many ways to do it with WordPress other than using this plugin, but I made this plugin to do it a certain way that I think is pretty easy to deal with. [More Information](http://www.webworkgarage.com/link-blog-wordpress-plugin/)

    3433= How does the plugin work? =

    36 Basically the plugin adds a meta box to your *Edit Post* screen that allows you to add a link URL to each blog post you write.  The plugin also provides a function (or template tag) for echoing that link URL in your theme wherever you want it.  I know that involves getting into the code, which some people aren't comfortable with, but a lot of people who want link blogs still want to also use a permalink for each post on the index page too, so I didn't want to make the external link URL just replace all the permalinks on your blog.  This way, you can do something like put the external link URL template tag around the title of your post, and still have something like "Posted on October 12" formatted as a link to the permalink, `the_permalink()`.
     35Basically the plugin adds a meta box to your *Edit Post* screen that allows you to add a link URL to each blog post you write.  The meta box has a heading of *Link Blog Info* and it has one field labeled *URL to link to:*, which is where you'll type in the external URL you want to link to.

     40
     41If you want your blog to be a hybrid that includes some link posts (linking to external sites) and some traditional posts (linking to internal permalinks), you can do that with this plugin.  All you have to do is leave the *URL to link to:* field blank and that particular post will still link to the standard permalink.
