WP-Smartdate looks for relative date expressions<\/em> in your blog posts, such as \"tomorrow,\" \"this coming Monday,\" \"last Friday,\" looks at the current date, and computes what day you were referencing in plain old English. WP-Smartdate then puts a machine readable reference (like \"2007-11-26\") in an abbr<\/code> tag microformat<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Why Smartdate?<\/h4>\n\n

WP-Smartdate was created for three simple audiences:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. For the machine:<\/em> While many professional information retrieval algorithms go far beyond the scope of this program, smartdate helps the process along by adding machine-readable tags to relative date expressions. In addition, these machine tags, in turn, help the human: a search on Google for \"November 7th, 2007,\" for example, will not pull up a document talking about \"yesterday,\" written on the 8th, but it will pull up the smartdate output of 2007-11-07<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  2. For the human reader:<\/em> Blog posts are often written in the \"now,\" using relative time expressions without concern for how the text will be read in the future. WP-Smartdate makes such posts easier to read and comprehend temporally.<\/li>\n
  3. For me<\/a><\/em>: Because I think this sort of thing is fun!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Smartdate-compatible expressions<\/h4>\n\n

    The following types of expressions are resolved with respect to the speech time--in WP-Smartdate's case, the blog post date.<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. simple references<\/em>: \"yesterday,\" \"today,\" \"tomorrow\"<\/li>\n
    2. next\/last day of the week expressions<\/em>: \"this Friday,\" \"this past Saturday,\" \"this Monday\"<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload wp-smartdate.php<\/code> to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.<\/li>\n
      3. There are no preferences to set in 0.1 but, in the future: configure the plugin options through the Options \/ WP-Smartdate menu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

        For the future<\/h3>\n
