This component does exactly what it is meant to do. It integrates seamlessly into the design of your website.Compared with similar modules I prefer this product because you can choose the sorting: Most recent, most hit, a-z etc.
Only one thing seems to be missing: display the creation date of the weblink. Then readers of your website can see much quicker if they have missed the latest weblinks.
Keep up the great work!

I tried most of the others before trying this module (including those with more votes); it works as advertised and cleanly, including the upgrade process. You can display categories of weblinks simply in any module position. Thus, instead of traditional weblinks, I use it as a web article linker. It works great for this purpose. It also adopted the CSS styles of my theme flawlessly.
Offers all the functionality you're looking for and complete flexibility to display web links sorted by category. A terrific job!
To respond to the previous review, if you elect the option of displaying thumbnails of sites you're weblinking to then yes, it can be a little slow but that's due to response time from the external sites, not the fault of this module. If you have a lot of links, it's easy enough to turn off this feature. Or you might try caching the contents of the module, found in the module's Advanced Parameters settings.

If you allow all the features, especially the "thumbs" and the external link (http://mozshot.nemui.org/, the thing crawls. Loading was extremely slow on my site, until I turned almost everything off.
