troubleshooting blogroll page styling

  • I have recently migrated my blogroll from a long list in my sidebar to its own “links” page <https://lawsonarchive.com/links/&gt;. I used a plugin called “Blogroll Page” to create this page; all I had to do was “add the text <!–blogroll-page–> to the page and output my blogroll links organized by category heading.”

    This works fine except that the text style is off. My major concern is that the link categories and the links themselves appear in a condensed typeface on my “links” page. Further grief is added since I cannot put my categories in order. The links appear in order, but unfortunately its reverse alphabetical order (Z-A), when I’d prefer alphabetical order (A-Z). I would also like to eliminate the bullet before each link.

    Should I ditch the plugin and start from scratch? Any help from the hive mind would be greatly appreciated.

    I have tried another plugin called “Blogroll Links” and changed the code on the page to read:

    <h3>OTHER TYPOGRAPHIC ARCHIVES</h3>
    <!–blogroll-links category-slug=”otherarchives”–><!–/blogroll-links–>
    <h3>ORGANIZATIONS</h3>
    <!–blogroll-links category-slug=”organizations”–><!–/blogroll-links–>
    <h3>OTHER SITES OF INTEREST</h3>
    <!–blogroll-links category-slug=”links”–><!–/blogroll-links–>

    Mainly I worry that its not the best way to solve this problem. But this is closer to what I’m after. The categories are in order, the links are in A-Z alphabetical order. Now if only I could eliminate the bullets, the em dash and the description afterwards.

    But if I don’t get any feedback, I may just settle on this solution and call it a day, or night, or whatever time it is.

    just the bullets –
    if you don’t need bullets in unordered list in other posts,
    you can add this to style.css:
    .entry ul li {list-style-type:none;}

    if you need the bullets otherwise, make it very specific for just this post,
    and use this instead:

    #post-1027 .entry ul li {list-style-type:none;}

    1027 is the post ID
