Category LiveBookmarks Plus
Compatible with WordPress 2.3!

CLB+ New version of Category LiveBookmarks Plus now available! CLB+ 2.3.0b enables WordPress 2.3+ users to configure and customize the ultimate set of autodetection feeds, category feeds, category links, and feed links. Features include completely rewritten, optimized code, optional category post counts, and custom RSS-icon links for all category and/or feed links. Overall, the new version is faster and more flexible than ever!
Category LiveBookmarks Plus is the easy way to provide complete “Live Bookmark” functionality and "Post Smart" feed links to your WordPress-powered website. Simply install the plugin, and users with Firefox, Opera, Navigator, or any other modern browser, will enjoy a selection of your RSS feed links at their fingertips. CLB Plus seamlessly integrates the code necessary for modern browsers to automatically detect and update any RSS feed available from the current page, enabling readers to stay current with important news and updates.
Category LiveBookmarks Plus also makes it easy to add category feed links to posts, comments, pages, or anywhere else within your site. Simply add the <? clb_plus(); ?> function to the desired location within your blog, and there enjoy a contextually relevant selection of completely customizable RSS feed links. There are also options to include RSS feed links for “all posts” and “all comments”, as well as settings to customize markup, icons, and feed links. Plus, as of version 1.7.7, there are options to configure a custom set of category links next to corresponding feed links, which may include comment counts and RSS-icon links.
With CLB+, you may customize category feeds for the various WordPress view types (e.g., category views, page views). CLB automatically omits feeds with zero posts, and also excludes subcategory feeds. Further, this plugin produces strictly valid XHTML markup.
Installation and Usage:
- Unzip php file and add to wp-content/plugins directory.
- Open php file and adjust any of the "CLB OPTIONS", if desired.
- Add the following function call to your sidebar or any other location:
<?php if (function_exists('clb_plus')) { clb_plus(); } ?> - Feed links will be added to the
<head>automatically. No further action required. - Feed links will be added to the
<body>wherever the function call (from step 3) is located.

Thanks for the great plugin. I noticed some oddities with using the clb_plus function, however.
In the monthly archives, is it possible to provide the entire list of feeds (as opposed to just the feeds for the categories of the first post).
Also, for the feed listing on the category pages, it seems to be spitting out a list of the categories the first post in that category belongs to. Even odder is that it spits out the block twice.
See http://www.room214.com/room2blog for an example of what I’ve described above. Click on any category and see what happens at the bottom of the left sidebar.
I appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks in advance!
