Feed Reading Blogroll plugin for WordPress

The Feed Reading Blogroll by Jan Weinschenker improves your blogroll by displaying the freshness and the latest post-title of your bookmarks.

What you need:

  • Get a Google API Key for free here.
  • Download the latest version of the plugin here.

To install:

  1. Upload the archive and the files to the plugin-directory of your blog. This should be /wp-content/plugins/feed-reading-blogroll/. After that, all files should be located at that directory.
  2. Go to the plugins-section of your dashboard, look for the entry called Feed Reading Blogroll and press activate.
  3. Set WordPress content-directory /wp-content/ to chmod 777, e.g. by using your ftp-client.
  4. Go to the plugin’s option-page. This will let the plugin create the JavaScript-file.
  5. Go back to your ftp-client and go to /wp-content/. You should find a file called feedreading_blogroll.js in it.
  6. Set the directory /wp-content/ back to chmod 755, while letting the rights of feedreading_blogroll.js remain chmod 777.
  7. Finally, save your own Google API Key at the plugin’s option-panel.
