exactly what I was looking for But I hope the developer will keep updating the plugin In terms of the appearance of the external page I wanted to donate to the add, but the link does not work Thanks again

This is exactly what we need! We tried a few other external link plugins and none of them did what we wanted. In seconds we set up CLINK and after a few minutes we had all our external links (12 helpful links + 11 our clients links) working and listed on our links pages exactly as we needed it – with categories, with target _blank, arranged by date, showing the count. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

1: Your plugin has been destroyed site SEO. You added “no follow” code into the your template file. So, this code already destroyed SEO. Please resolve this problem. 2: Your plugin does not work on Chrome latest vers. I’ve been editing it for good looking. 3: Does not seen Post head, id , logo, menu etc. on Downlodin page (On Chrome). So i hope you will solve all. Thanks.
