The Aggregators plugins!

I’ve always been a HUGE fan of “Beauty/Power in Simplicity”. The indomitable Tyler Reed developed us a series of plugins which takes your blog post category and Technorati tags in your post body and display it as seen under this post’s title post’s content (changed it to display it without having to edit your template files). If you click it you can see all related blog posts on either Afrigator, Amatomu or Muti. (Currently I’m only displaying Afrigator… for all obvious reasons! Which is… I have only done the rel-tag filters on one plugin, not all, so far!). An extremely simple idea which is extremely useful!

Now in the same breath, I just HAVE to mention that this also demonstrate some of the benefits of microformats. If the Technorati tags was not in a machine recognizable format (the rel-tag microformat), we would not have been able to extract them from the content of the post all that easy!

[UPDATE]
I’ve also changed it to be 3-in-1. Will pass it back on to Tyler for approval. You can get it there later!
