Click the trash can to the left of the links on the add/edit page screen and watch it magically disappear. Make sure you save your page after deleting it though!

Can I add links to posts as well as pages?

Yes! As of version 0.2 you can add links to posts too. Happy days!

Please come back!

I really love this plugin. It is so handy, and I use it on almost all of my sites. I hope that you will come back and maintain it. It is perfect as it is, but I am afraid of it becoming incompatible with new updates. Please come back!
