Things By Mike

Over the last few weeks I’ve spent time moving into a new apartment, unpacking and getting myself situated. Now that I’ve finally got myself settled in, I can get back into posting a bit more again. What better way to start than by recommending what I believe is an excellent plugin for WordPress which everyone should have.

One thing I often like to do with WordPress blogs is have a list of related posts or articles somewhere after the conclusion of a post. It’s a great way to offer quick links your readers can click on and find similar content. I’ve tried a lot of different related posts plug-ins. Some have been quite nice, others not so much. I think I’ve finally found the one I’ll stick with from now on.

Over on my newest website, GrifballHUB, I’ve begun using Similarity. Similarity is a simple to implement plugin which allows you to show related content in three different ways, depending on your needs. You have the option of displaying related posts based on tags you use for articles, categories or a mixture of both. Whichever you choose, you’ll have a very nice and clean looking list of links. The following is how it looks on my GrifballHUB website.

If you’ve been searching around for a decent related posts plugin and have yet to find one that makes you happy, I highly recommend checking out Similarity. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and does it very well.
