SimpleLink .03 released
I did a bit of work on SimpleLink today, mostly cleanup and random features. SimpleLink is a WordPress plugin that makes linking to things simple.
- Added
tag='rel'attribute to all text links, which allows semantic scraping by Technorati and del.icio.us. - Fixed
imggeneration for Amazon.com product links for fixed-size images with overflow (fixed dimension thumbnails without scaling thumbnail). - Added Technorati search links with
techo:andtag:targets, which generates links to Technorati searches and tag searches. - Added Flickr image linking with
flickr:target, making it easier to embed to Flickr images on your site
You can download wp-simplelink-0.3.tar.gz, or visit the SimpleLink home page for more details.

This is excellent plugin, reminds me to what phpGiggle offers as well. There’s one thing I’d like to see in latter versions and that’s the ability to add your own services. A good manual would do, and if it is reworked so that every service is a separate function, that would make adding new ones easier.

Thanks, and thanks for the ideas. The old Blosxom version of the plugin was much more configurable, but the text-file configuration didn’t fit Php and WordPress as well as it did Blosxom, so I was going to make it DB-driven when I got the chance (takes a few more hours, so was lazing it out).
