From the developer
Luke Mlsna's own description of Custom Meta Widget, lightly tidied.
This plugin acts in exactly the same way as the standard Meta widget except that it adds options which allow you control which of the 5 standard Meta widget links should be displayed, with the additional option to add your own custom link.
The standard Meta widget that comes with WordPress offers no customization and requires you to show all 5 of the standard links (register, login, entries RSS, comments RSS, and WordPress.org, as well as any links added by themes or other plugins).
