Make Directory on Wordpress

Done! Now my web tech directory is up. I will put some website link there that related to website development and technology sources. Off course you also can add your own website there, don’t forget the reciprocal link

This directory was build with the help of WP Link Directory plugin, that only works for Wordpress 2.05 or above. Also you need GD enabled in order to get the Captcha working for the verification.
Some features that listed for this plugin are:
1. Creation of link categories, sub-categories with descriptions
You can create any number of categories with description in the directory, including sub-categories.
2. Quick add of link from admin backend and visitor front-end
Your visitor will be able to click on this link “Insert your link here”, it will pop out a form below for submission. Clean and simple.
3. Search engine for admin to find link
You can search for a particular link based on its title, domain name, email address, etc, thus never have to worry about can’t find a link that you want to delete or edit.
4. Easy integration to your Wordpress theme
Now, this is one of the highlights of the plugin. You don’t have to worry about the template because this directory will use your Wordpress theme. You can easily modify styling using the external style sheet provided in the directory folder.
5. Backlink cleansing for checking reciprocal links
What it is, is enabling you to run a link cleansing process that checks each reciprocal links and see if the site is linking back to you as it promised. A list of broken links will be listed and you can either remove them or do something else.
6. Non-reciprocal link allowance
Another great great great thing of the script. There’s many time when we want to allow a link to have non-reciprocal link, eg. you might just start setting up the directory and you’d need to stuff some default links in it. Thus, you can simply check the tickbox of “Allow non reciprocal”, and then the link will not be checked when performing link cleansing check.
7. Email notification templates
Sure you want to be able to have a good email template system that manage communication for submitters and webmaster. Thus, this script allows you to set a custom email template system for link notification and approval.
8. SEO friendly url rewrite
Wow! What more do you want? SEO friendly URL rewrite feature, that re-writes all url to search engine friendly format. Note that this requires you to be running on an apache though.
