 * I’m trying to figure out how todo this:
 * Say if I type :urlgoogle: into my post at my blog and when it’s published it 
   displayes as a link to google.
 * Is that possible with php?

 * Yes, there are several plugins that do that.

 * Yes and no. It would easy enough to do that with php, all you would be doing 
   is setting “:urlgoogle:” equal to “[http://www.google.com&#8221](http://www.google.com&#8221);.
   But to do anything with php code within a post, you have to run a plugin like
   PHP Exec or RunPHP.

 * I’m also assuming you want to have more urls than just Google. You’d have to 
   setup an array somewhere, probably in a separate text file, with all the urls
   you want to automatically link.

 * I use phpGiggle. It spots key words and replaces them with the word as a link.
   Using your example, if Google is your phpGiggle word and you have it set up to
   point to [http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com), then all you have to
   do is type Google in your entry and phpGiggle does the rest. I have over 150 
   words in my phpGiggle list and it doesn’t slow down the site. You can download
   it at:
