Are there shortcodes for adding blogroll links to a page/post

  WordPress deprecated the default Links feature but WordPress.com apparently is still using it. I can’t find the shortcodes for adding blogroll links to a page or post. This is especially frustrating since I can’t add the Simple Links plugin to a WordPress.com website.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. Unfortunately there is no such shortcode (I’ve looked). Some themes have a Links Page template. If you create a page with that template it will automatically import your blogroll to that page. However, if your theme doesn’t have that template, you’ll need to add the links to a post or page manually.

  There is a links widget you can use to display the blogroll in your sidebar or footer (depending on theme) which will automatically import your saved links. See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/links-widget/
