I paid them a visit to ask if they had something like it for the 'similar posts' plugin that I use. Cheers.

Hmm actually the same guys did a modified version that works with WASABI

There is a plugin for the WASABI plugin, or based on it to give you related posts in feeds, but I don’t have a URL off-hand – I use UTW on all my blogs.

Hmmmm, just the info I’ve been looking for. I found it through your related posts on my feed reader too.

I use the ‘similar posts’ plugin. Do you know of any way to add that to my feed?

You might find this plugin helpful

I haven’t tested it, but I have seen Christine suggest it in the past

Weird though. I employed WordPress’ import and export feature but it appears the export didn’t include UTW. I may or may not have done in correctly, I don’t know. But since it has come to this, then I suppose I’ll just have to add them manually.

Thanks for letting me know however. Perhaps next time if there ever is a switch of domain with another site, I’ll know what to look out for.

Feedburner are meant to provide some kind of SE friendly redirect if you read the pro service.

Also you have probably been reading my blog, and vice versa for longer than most (all?) of my current readers, so those extra links don’t help quite as much.

I suppose it wouldn’t be too hard to create such a plugin.

I’m going to guess that you’re not real surprised that I read you in a feed. I don’t think the plugin will increase me clicking through to older content, but then I have you set up in a Google search too because sometimes I go looking for older information on your blog and that’s the quickest easiest way to it.

As you know, my approach to feeds is different, supplying only the excerpt and making people click through if they want the full story. Actually the thing I’d like in a feed plug in is a second set of “feed” permalinks that lead to a counter and 301 redirect so i can track links from my feeds automatically.

Leonard I am not sure how you handled the move in the end, but UTW stores its information along with the rest of your wordpress data, in the same MYSQL database table, so you shouldn’t have had any problems with UTW working after a domain switch.

As far as I know there are not fixed paths used in the tables
