Related entries and related blogs
In addition of a log of web activities, personal thought, weblog is also a communication tool. Sometimes when we blog a story, it didn’t end up just in a blog entry, it would be illustrated in several entries, in a day or over several days. I feel it’s interesting to find relationship between entries to entries, blog to blogs. So I grab the RelatedEntries mt-plugin and relatedFromWaypath and wrap them into my individual blog entry. You would see a box entitled “Related entries in yowkee essential”, which point to the other related posts in this weblog. And the other box, titled “Related blogs from Waypath”, using Waypath blog search engine to list down other people’s blogs that might related to the post.
Here’s the reasons I’m doing this:
- Good to see relationship the blog entries I post. Think about when you’ve posted over a few hundred entries and you can’t remember what ever happened six months ago, the related entries might bring surprise.
- Introduce your blog readers to explore more of your blog. It’s an added value to your readers on providing more related information (well, that depends…I’d just be positive :)
- Link more to other’s blogs, keep more chance to connect to others.

Sometimes the algorithm leads you to nowhere, but it's still interesting to see what the engine found "related" :-).
Waypath plugin could be disabled by putting a HTML comment in particular entry, if you find the result is just irrelevant..
