Yahoo! Wants To Spice Up Your WordPress Blog
Yahoo has recently released a WordPress plugin called Yahoo! Shortcuts which will help bloggers create great content supplemented by contextually relevant links but with very little effort. It requires no technical genius to use this superb utility but it when appropriately used it will help tell your story far more effectively. Jeremy Zawodny of Yahoo! Developer Network writes …
Instead of putting the burden on me, it operates as an assistant in the background, looking for relevant links, images, and other shortcuts. Then, when you’re done writing, you can simply look through what it found and select what you’d like to keep.
What Does Yahoo! Shortcuts Do?
Yahoo! Shortcuts plugin automatically finds links and shows you the total count even before you finish writing your post. After you are done writing the content review which links to keep and which badges to display on your post. You have complete control and nothing appears on your blog page until you specifically put it there. Yahoo! Shortcut makes it quick and easy to integrate yahoo search results, maps, stock prices, locations, products, Flickr pictures which have Creative Commons license and much more. The complete tutorial gives a detailed demo of the plugin. If you are lucky you might even win a free tshirt from Yahoo.
