 Dashboard incoming link widget currently requests the latest 20 citations
 from Google Blog Search but displays between 1 and 20 items (default 10).

 Matching the total number of requested items with the display list size
 reduces bytes over the wire as well as processing time to convert the RSS
 string into a mapped array. For users with the default widget settings
 this cuts the response and subsequent parse in half.

 Removed hard-coded home language of English from link URL and feed URL.
 Results are pulled from all languages, and home language set by Google
 when visit occurs.
