If you run a blog, then you’ll know it takes time to interlink to previous posts. This plugin will simplify your search and also increases your resources to include images, maps and videos. One can concentrate on writing and not on searching.

Thanks. This is totally new for me. I will certainly use it one day but not now, since i still don’t have that many post in my blog to link to each other.
@Siau Hen – you don’t just use it for inter-linking posts, you could also use it for images, etc as well.
Looks pretty good George. At the moment I’m using Zemanta which allows me to insert photos and relevant links but this plugin seems to do a whole lot more. If it works out the way you say I will have to say goodbye to Zemanta.

@Sire – go have a look or try it for a while and then let me know what you think of it. It might just be the plugin that makes the difference for you
I’ve not been much into adding a lot of plugins to my blog and I might have to start looking at doing so now. The more ways I can provide my loyal readers to share what I’ve written the faster and more efficient I can spread my words across the Internet from those who’ve enjoyed my stuff.
I’m going to check out this plugin and more so thanks for mentioning this.
@Eric – there are so many plugins to make life easier and this is one of them. I do understand when trying to keep plugins to a minimum, I do exactly the same. If you use it, let me know what your experience is.
Nice Plugin George , keep on sharing these cool plugins with us.

I’ve been using this plugin on my blog for ages, never really used it as much as I should though, maybe I should utilize it a lot more in future posts! Great review by the way
.-= Karen @ Blazing Minds´s last blog ..Project 365 Photo A Day: Return of the Snow! =-.
I’ve been using it since I started blogging (4 months ago).
It is good but limited, as you still have to remember what post you made and go back to create links once a new post is created – i.e. it only works well going backwards.
Your twitter id in comment is sweet though, I’ll have a read through your article about it.

I wasn’t too sure that I would have a use for this plugin as I have been trying to limit my plugin use a little more this year, but the insert Google Maps is a homerun. Especially for my business blogs with actual store locations.

@Extreme John – glad you liked the Google Maps
I know what you mean when you say limit your plugin use.
that just what most blogger need, I do write about the important of interlinking
This is a very interesting plugin.. Definitely i will make a try to this. Updating our previous post and linking that with new post is very nice idea. Regarding this, i think this plugin will do a great job… I like the features of adding google map and flickr images.
Thanks for sharing friend

@Kok Siong Chen – glad to be of help, many are using it or will start using it. Let me know what you think.
This plugin looks pretty cool! You know when the number of posts increased and sometimes we don’t even know what post we’ve written before, I believe that this plugin could really help.
I like the feature that searches for flickr images as I always insert an image in a blog post, that saves my time. I’m going to use it for my blog.
Best Regards,
Lee
@Lee Ka Hoong – glad to be of help. When things are simplified, it makes us more productive and that’s the point.
Thanks for posting screenshots of the plugin. It really helps to visualize how it works. I’ve been to prevolac before, but I didn’t know about this plugin.
I like reading posts that have a lot of links because it gives you a lot of directions to go exploring.
