Assuming you have some Saved Links, you're ready to create your first Link Roundup.
- Go to Link Roundups and click Add Link Roundup from your WordPress Dashboard.
The new Link Roundup post will resemble a regular WordPress post in many ways... but there is one important difference: the Recent Saved Links Panel below the Editor.
Recent Saved Links lets you sort through Saved Links based on the date they were created.
- Select one or more links to add to your roundup by clicking the Send to Editor button.
The Recent Saved Links section shows a maximum of 15 links at one time. Use the pagination to view more pages of Saved Links, but bear in mind you must send links to the editor before switching pages -- the box won't remember links you checked on other pages, only links currently displayed.
Once you have the links that make up your roundup in the editor window, you can edit the links, change the description and make any adjustments that you'd make to a normal post. If you'd like to add a description to the post, go to the first line of the roundup and add a new line.
You can also add Categories and Tags to the Link Roundup, like any other post. Adding one or more Categories allows filtering display of Link Roundups by Category.
Once you Publish the Link Roundup post, it displays in your homepage content stream like any other post:
Each Link Roundup also has its own single-post page which displays its Saved Links which link to the original source:

- Rename the Link Roundups Post Type (including public URL slug!)
- Modify the output of saved links within the [rounduplink.. ] shortcode
