Ultimately the word ‘Blogroll’ is just a different term used to describe a list of links to blogs of interest usually placed on the sidebar of a blog. Bloggers added them to their sidebar as a way of staying connected to blogs of interest and also as a show-off to their audience, to show just how widely read they were.
If you ever want to display total number of blogroll links you have? then today’s tip is for you. Just read the tip. It’s pretty easy to do using the $wpdb object and some SQL.
To count your blogroll links you have to simply paste the following code where you want the count to be displayed:
<?php
$numlinks = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->links WHERE link_visible = 'Y'");
if (0 < $numlinks) $numlinks = number_format($numlinks);
echo $numlinks;
?>
