Working at Home on the Internet

Poll: Do You Use Related Posts on Your Blog?

I have always liked using Related Posts at the end of an article as a reference to things I had written on a particular subject. I feel it adds a little more to the post and it can give the reader, especially new visitors, an idea of where I am coming from at various points on that subject.

I almost gave up. It got to be a little much going through two years worth of posts. Even when I had a good idea of what I wanted to reference, I still had to look through post after post. I just didn’t want to manually go through it all for every post.

I did find a plugin, Cross-references WordPress Plugin by Francesc Hervada-Sala that I am going to try out for a little while to see if it solves the problem of having to spend a lot of time manually looking up old posts.

This weeks poll will try to find out how many of us use related posts on our Blogs.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

I’ll let you know how the plugin works.

Do you use a plugin for related posts? Do you just slog through all your old posts to find them?

This Weeks Helpful Reads… Week 81

 This is an ongoing series of interesting and helpful reads that I have come across on the Internet. I try to include the most helpful articles and links each week to provide the widest range of information for the home business entrepreneur.

Moving Your Readers to Tears::How to Get Personal on a Business Blog by Wendy Piersall… Sometimes you need to get things off your chest, even on a Business Blog. Wendy has some great suggestions on how to succeed when the need arises.

Improve My Site: Why I Returned The Money From a Paid Web Consultancy Job by Lorelle VanFossen (on the Blog Herald)… When a Business wants too much and won’t listen to your professional advice, sometimes you need to bite the bullet and take the loss to maintain your integrity.

Leveraging the Power of Blogs in an Overcrowded Market by Mark Hayward (on ProBlogger)… More and more businesses large and small are using Blogging for exposure. This is one you should read if you intend to use the internet for your business.

I hope you find some of these articles informational and helpful. I think they will be enjoyable reading nonetheless.
