You can do what you want from the plugin’s settings page..

EDIT: Following the CSS suggestion, if you wanted to try this method.

  1. Leave the fields as they were
  2. Update the <ul> field to now read <ul id="my_special_id">
  3. Update your theme’s style.css file with the below.

Example CSS.

#my_special_id, 
#my_special_id li { display:inline; }
#my_special_id li a { margin-right: 5px; }

Which should result in the list items displaying side by side. The margin is to push the items away from one another, else they’ll look like one long sting..

The {link} text is basically just a placeholder for output produced by the plugin, not much different to how a shortcode works…
