Link Banana

In addition to upgrading to WordPress 2.5 yesterday, I also added related content links to the site’s entries. It’s done using the Similar Posts plugin by Rob Marsh — who happens to be a Jesuit, a fact I find fascinating.

For now they’re only visible on the single-entry view, but if you’re ever bored you can click around and find a cornucopia of things you either missed or forgot. I, the sole writer and editor of this site, have spent a few hours finding stuff I’d already forgotten about. For a site that turns three months old tomorrow, my mind should be thoroughly embarrassed about that fact.

Also of note: I made a single massive list of every single post available as a way to view the archives. I should tell you that the sight is not for the faint of heart.

This might be interesting to some people, but probably not many. When choosing how Link Banana would work, I thought hard about using the popular Tumblr. The post I’ve made over at Ikiru Design gives a quick-and-dirty rundown of the major differences between Tumblr and WordPress, as well as a brief discussion of why I chose WordPress.
