From the author:

Though the name may be a little “edgy” for some, SexyBookmarks has proven time and time again to be an extremely useful and successful tool in getting your readers to actually submit your articles to numerous social bookmarking sites.

Our sole aim was to stray away from the “in the box” thinking behind most social bookmarking plugins, and add a little flair that would entice your readers, rather than deterring them with microscopic icons that get lost in pages heavy laden with content.

From the author:

Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARPP) gives you a list of posts and/or pages related to the current entry, introducing the reader to other relevant content on your site. Key features include:

1. An advanced and versatile algorithm: Using a customizable algorithm considering post titles, content, tags, and categories, YARPP calculates a “match score” for each pair of posts on your blog. You choose the threshold limit for relevance and you get more related posts if there are more related posts and less if there are less.
2. Templating: New in 3.0! The YARPP templating system puts you in charge of how your posts are displayed.
3. Caching: Improved in 3.1! YARPP organically caches the related posts data as your site is visited, greatly improving performance.
4. Related posts in RSS feeds: Display related posts in your RSS and Atom feeds with custom display options.
5. Disallowing certain tags or categories: You can choose certain tags or categories as disallowed, meaning any page or post with such tags or categories will not be served up by the plugin.
6. Related posts and pages: Puts you in control of pulling up related posts, pages, or both.

This plugin requires that your database run on MySQL 4.1 or greater.
