About this Plugin

In WordPress 3.5, the Link Manager (which some use to build blogrolls) will be disabled by default. If you have links when you update, it’ll still be there. But you can use this plugin to ensure it will always be there, even if you update to a later version of WordPress or remove all of your current links.
