Linkr is an extension for the Joomla! Content Management System. Use it to link articles, menu items, and even contacts, while editing content. Linkr can also add bookmarking links such as Digg and Del.icio.us (or whichever for that matter), and links to related articles to encourage your users to read more! The extension was designed to be hassle free, clean, and as simple as possible.
