Ok, I searched all over for a related posts plugin, or related entry, entries plugin whatever.. Here it is.. It works on this blog running wordpress 2.2.
The Wasabi link or plugin I guess is down and not being supported until someone takes over. The plugin that you see here used doesn’t take any manual manipulation. You just upload the plugin to the plugins folder, add a snippet of code to your blog template and wammy! You got related posts or entries or whatever you call’em attached to your posts.
For those of you who want to select related posts manually I can’t help you. Once your blog gets big or bigger it will be hard to select related entries since there will be so many so you might as well go with something automated I think.
Hi Jeff,
Please take a look at the Wizag (http://wizag.com) Auto-tagging plugin for WordPress. In addition to finding related posts in your blog, it sends your blog out to be discovered by readers of other bloggers in the community, adds broader perspectives to your posts, and gives you more ads space. We are doing private testing now. If you want an invitation code, please email me. For a live demo, please see http://stack-up.com/stack and click on the Discover icon or auto-tags at the end of each post.
Hi Paul,
Your widget doesn’t look seo friendly at all which is what I am mostly interested in. Of course I want to tie my posts to other related posts so readers get pulled into the content but I don’t want to make them have to click on a link just to view more links to related content with more ads. That defeats the purpose I think.
I think some people will really find your widget usefull but I didn’t see a way for it to work seamlessly in the page, where all the info that pops up is already embedded and spiderable by the search engines. I don’t know maybe I missed that or didn’t see that feature. Maybe it’s something you’ll consider in the future.
Best of luck though with your new product.
I’m using a related posts plugin that I don’t really like, maybe I’ll give this one a try.
Wasabi’s site has been down for some time, however, you can get it at:
wasabi.pbwiki.com
I have used Rob Marsh plugin earlier, when Wasabi’s plugin didnt work. Its pretty solid, but lacks extra features. I searched more for a better plugin, and have since used another one.
Catch my list at: Related Posts plugins.

Hopefully, that should help you find a better plugin.
I am new here, and am exploring this blog, so Cheers
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for sharing. I tried to install the “Related Entries” plugin but it didn’t work. I just tried the “Similar Posts” plugin and it works fine with WP 2.2.2 but unfortunately, it didn’t work with WP 2.3.
However, it’s a very nice plugin.
