Google API Key: Enter your Google API Key, otherwise the plugin will not work.

Blogroll Title for sidebar widget: You can configure the title for the sidebar-widget. This option does only apply, if you also check the box below the input-field. Furthermore, if you choose category-grouping at the option further below, the category-titles will be used instead of your configured title.

JavaScript loading in: You can either set the plugin to load all necessary JavaScript in the pageheader or in the pagefooter. Loading of the JavaScript from your blog’s header is better for the compatibility, while loading it from the footer is better for the performance.

Use Google Feed Discovery: Automatic Feed Discovery is a service by Google which will try to find the correct feeds that belong to your bookmarks. When using Feed Discovery, you do not need to save extra feed-URLs along with your bookmarks. If you have saved a feed-URL for a bookmark, the plugin will always use the saved feed for that particular bookmark instead of Google Feed Discovery.

Use Google Favicon Discovery (with upcoming version 1.5): Automatic Favicon Discovery is a service by Google which will try to find the correct URLs that belong to the favicons of your bookmarks. When using Favicon Discovery, you do not need to save extra icon-URLs along with your bookmarks. If you have saved an icon-URL for a bookmark, the plugin will always use the saved URL for that particular bookmark instead of Google Favicon Discovery.

Categories: You can choose, which link-categories will be used by the plugin. You can drag and drop the categories to reorder them in your blogroll.

Group bookmarks by category: You can configure, if the bookmarks should be grouped by their categories.

Order bookmarks by: you can sort the bookmarks by several criteria and by several directions.

Enable JavaScript-sorting: When JavaScript-sorting is enabled, your bookmarks will be sorted by the date of their latest update, i.e. a blog that published a new article an hour ago will be shown on the top position of your blogroll, while another blog with its newest article older than a week, will be shown on a position further below. Blogs that do not provide readable date-information in their feeds will be considered as very old.

JavaScript-sorting timeout: Directly after every pageload, JavaScript will try to sort the blogroll. By default, JavaScript will tell the browser of your visitor to try to sort for 20 seconds. You can raise this value up to 60 seconds. This can be necessary, if you have a very large blogroll.

Style: The blogroll can be displayed in four different styles. Check them out and choose the one that you like the most.

Max number of bookmarks per category: Enter the maximum number of bookmarks that should be visible in each category. Leave the field empty, if you want all bookmarks to be displayed. If JavaScript-sorting is active, the limiting will be applied after the JavaScript-sorting timeout.

Custom location for stylesheets: If you modify the file feedreading_blogroll.css, I recommend you to move it to another directory (e.g. /wp-content) to prevent it from getting lost during a plugin-update. You can set the new path to the css-file here.

Default icon: You can configure a URL of a default-icon. This Icon will be displayed, if the show-icon-option is set and there is no icon configured for a bookmark.

CSS class for links: You can configure css-classes to the link-elements of the blogroll. Plugins like XSD Snapr make use of these classes to display snapr-preview-bubbles.

Show update-information: If you check the “show update-information” box, the update-information will be displayed for each bookmark where you saved a feed-url. Uncheck this box, no feed-infomation will be fetched from your bookmarked sites.

Show name of author: This option requires the enabled option Show update-information. Some blogs do not provide the author’s name in their feed. In those cases, the author’s name cannot be shown in the blogroll.

Show title of latest post: furthermore, you can configure, if the plugin should also display the title of the latest post from the bookmarked site.

Show icon: you can configure whether or not the bookmark-icons should be displayed. If you check the “show icon” box, the icons will be shown for every bookmark where you supplied an icon-url. If you did not supply an icon-url, your default-icon will be shown with every bookmark. If you did not supply a default-bookmark either, no icon will be shown at all.

Enable bookmark preview: you can configure wheter or not a preview-window should pop up, when someone clicks on the update-information
