KB Linker

Please post your comments about this widget to the appropriate post in the KB Linker category. I’ve turned off commenting on this page because the page was getting too big.

KB Linker will link phrases you specify to sites you specify. For example, you could make it so that whenever “Wordpress” occurs in a post it is automatically linked to wordpress.org. All you do is enter keyword->URL pairs into the Options->KB Linker page in your admin screen. Enter pairs so that they look something like this:

wordpress->http://wordpress.org/
google->http://www.google.com/
knuckleheads->http://www.house.gov/

You’ll find more detailed instructions on the admin page. But really, it’s pretty easy. And KB Linker does the hard work of (a) making sure that words aren’t already linked and (b) making sure only words, not partial words, get linked.

The plugin is commented extensively, so if you want to tweak its behavior, give it a go.

Why might you want this plugin?

Well, that’s obviously up to you. Maybe you don’t. But if there is something that you’re always linking to, this plugin might help you. For example, I’ve got a travel blog (on a different URL). I have set it up so that every time I mention certain cities, the city’s name gets linked automatically to a map of that city.

This plugin could also serve SEO (search engine optimization) purposes if you’re into that sort of thing; you could use it to ensure plenty of internal cross-linking between your posts.
