WordPress’ New Feature
In case you haven’t noticed yet, WordPress has implemented a new feature that automatically puts links to “similar” posts on the bottom of yours. While I think this feature is a good idea, I think they need to do some tweaking to it still, since some of the posts I’ve seen linked have nothing to do with the post it was linked from. Never mind that it would be nice to have some control over what kinds of material one’s readers are being linked to.
I am glad that they allow you to disable it, though. I’ve debated disabling it on my blog, but until I see something completely inappropriate, I’m willing to give WordPress a chance with this. Until then, be warned that I may or may not condone whatever’s linked, and will take no responsibility if you run across something you’d rather not see.
I’d like to know what criteria the thing works on. I mean, it linked some post of mine to a BDSM site.
Not that handcuffs are necessarily a bad thing, but I failed to see the similarities to my site. ??

I had a weird one today. I made a post about my testing being finished, and one of the links was “What do Jews do for Christmas?” o.O

OK, I’m slow…how does one turn this feature off?
