## Description

I was creating link posts on http://www.bilalakil.me’s Twenty Fourteen happily
 
until I was nonplussed by the doppelgängers that made themselves apparent when I
added the theme’s also-impressive Euphoria widget to the mix, displaying links.

I was seeing the same posts displayed twice on the front page:
 once in the main
post loop; and again in the Euphoria widget!

To solve this problem I decided to exclude posts with the link post format
 from
the post index page’s main query, and thus this plugin was born.

The plugin’s settings sit neatly on the Settings > Reading page.
