A note on support (June 2010)

I have begun instituting a stricter policy of not responding to support inquiries via email, instead directing senders to the appropriate WordPress.org forum, here.

I try to respond to inquiries on the forums on a regular basis and hope to build a community of users who can learn from each other's questions and experiences and can support one another. I ask for your understanding on this matter.

Testimonials

"One of my favorite [plugin]s I just activated on my blog is called Yet Another Related Posts Plugin... I've been blogging seven or eight years now so I have a lot of archives, and it actually surprises me sometimes when I blog about something and I visit the permalink to see I've written about it before... and it also increases the traffic on your blog because when they come in just to one entry, they'll see this other stuff going on."

— Matt Mullenweg, WordPress creator

"The first one I ended up trying was Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARPP), and mitcho has really done a fantastic job on it:
  • It’s trivial to install.
  • You don’t have to edit your WordPress template.
  • The relevance is good: the suggested posts are related, and you can tweak thresholds and how things are computed if you want."

— Matt Cutts, head of Webspam, Google

"One way of getting search engines to get to your older content a bit easier, thus increasing your WordPress SEO capabilites a LOT, is by using a related posts plugin. These plugins search through your posts database to find posts with the same subject, and add links to these posts. There are quite a few related posts plugins but I tend to stick with the Yet Another Related Posts Plugin..."
