XFN enabled Blogroll

To learn about xfn, read: http://gmpg.org/xfn/
Some days ago, while reading about the launch of the Google Social Graph API, I got interested and also a little disappointed,because b2evolution does not support the xfn attributes on its linkblog.
So I decided to implement a plugin that replaces the standard linkblog, but with the ability to use the xfn extensions. I haveincluded another desired feature: make my blogroll a simple list, instead of listing the links up according to there categories.
Installating this plugin will provide a new widget called 'Linkblog (xfn)', which you can use to replace the standard b2evolutionlinkblog widget. To add your relationship to the people in your linkblog I decided to use the tags field from the post. For example: if I add a link to a friend I have actually met, I add the tags 'friend' and 'met'.
There is also a hook for something that I will be implementing in the future, which is to make the linkblog links open in a newwindow, but the plugin is perfectly useable right now! I hope you enjoy!
You can set this plugin to open link on new windows! Just assure that your skin has jquery loaded. If you are using a b2evolution version greater than 2.x, you can just add to your skin:
require_js( '#jquery#');
You can add the 'rel="external"' to links outside of your linkroll, and all these links will open on a new window.

i just tried your plugin. its great, but the links in the linkblog don´t open in a new window. I inserted 'require_js( '#jquery#');' in the html head. Whats the mistake? Could you give me a hint?
Thanks.

Everything looks ok.. A thought: you use jquery and prototype in your site, and both define a $ function.. Maybe this can be the source of the problem?
You could add an option to display the XFN friendly badge to the bottom (http://gmpg.org/xfn/join).
Also, could you make it use the same formatting as the builtin linkblog? Most skins use that as the reference and use graphic bullets & stuff, that seem to go away with your version.
I sent the xfn guys a link to get your plugin listed on their tools page too. (http://gmpg.org/xfn/tools)
Otherwise, it's brilliant. Thanks!
