It's my unprofessional opinion that joomla's weblinks page stinks. Is there anything out there better, other then using a wrapper to point to an html file?
What I don't like is that when you click on weblinks, it shows just the category titles, then you have to click again to view one category. I'd love to go to the links and see the categories and all the links expanded, preferably with a spot for a picture beside each weblink to give a preview.
What I do like about the weblinks in joomla is that it keeps a "hit" count on how many times people went off to these sites.
