For anyone who’s interested: in WP 2.7 this feature can be found under Tools > Import where it still has the title “Blogroll”… Sadly it is still hopelessly outdated and thows all links in the same (optional) link category so if you have many links in many categories you are still up for some teadious manual work

From my experience, it is impossible to import links in WordPress and preserve their categories. Does 2.5 change that?

@Kyle: LOL, hopefully.

@Michael: I know, I hope this isn’t the beginning of a trend towards “pre-Ribbon Microsoft Office-ism” (functionality scattered all over the place).

There are quite a few things that was fairly easy to do in earlier versions of WordPress that 2.5 has made a little confusing. If only the new version of WordPress was easier to use instead of being confusing.

Great post John!

I’m sure they will standardize the wording in the next release.
