Linking submitted link to a particular page?

That was the idea behind enabling taxonomy support, which was added in version 0.3.5. For example, if you enable the taxonomy "category" for recommended links in the plugin settings, there will be a dropdown added to submission widget for users to choose a category. And if, for example, they submit a link with the category "entertainment", that link would be added to the rankings at /?category=entertainment as well as the main page.

There are still a lot of UI problems to work out with this, though:

• Being able to set pretty permalinks for each category would be nice; I just need to come up with a permastructure that works with all the other moving parts (pagination, etc)
• It would be nice to be able to set up widgets with a specific taxonomy term preset, so you could have a, entertainment submission widget. That shouldn't be hard.
• I have not done any serious testing to see how well taxonomy queries play with the various other options in the plugin (sort order, pagination, specific archive page views, etc.) and wouldn't be surprised to find bugs in implementation once people start using them in creative ways that I didn't anticipate. (If you do find bugs, though, let me know and I can work them out.)
• And, it would be nice to be able to set a specific page template for archive pages. This can be done using the default WordPress archive pages, but as of yet, there's no way to do that. This will probably be addressed along with #12, enabling the option to make static pages for any number of arbitrary views.
