Testers needed for Microkids Related Posts WordPress plugin

I have been working hard on a version 4.0 of my Related Posts plugin. I could use some help on the testing of the new version before properly releasing it. If you are interested in assisting me, please drop me a line.

New features include:

• Manual sorting (hooray!)
• Fixed dependancy of inclusion of wp-config.php, so those of you that store it outside the web root will now be able to use the plugin as well.
• Fixed widget so titles fit standards (doh!)

Pitch not so perfectAppearently Google excludes you from their index when a bogus DMCA complaint is filed. Check out this story about how some commercial party had Google remove a perfectly genuine discussion because they ranked higher. Perfect Pitch.

John Mayers new Augmented Reality site

goedkoop-gitaren-kopenSome awesome stuff over at johnmayer.com; for Johns new album a flash site was created using your webcam to create an experience of augmented reality. With mobile devices getting more and more advanced, chances are we’ll be seeing more of this great technology.

Although I’m a big JM fan, I’m not sure what to think of the song. The solo however shows once again that John is a true guitar god.

Related Posts version 2.4 released

wordpress-related-postsI hope to have included another bunch of features users have been asking for.

You can now add drafts and planned posts as related posts, without them appearing on your site before they are properly published.

Added shortcode support – you can now place the

[ related-posts ]

shortcode within the content of your post to display the related posts anywhere you want.

(For advanced users) Added a parameter to the MRP_get_related_posts function to optionally get the related posts in an object, so you can easily use it in other plugins or your own custom way of displaying the list of related posts. For documentation on this, see  the API section.

And of course let me know if you run into any problems or have any suggestions for future updates.

Dutch translation Register Plus WordPress Plugin
