<p>A widget that permits blogmasters to share and exchange links to their posts based on common taxonomy, across their blogs (ie. posts having the same tags or categories). Each link is automatically associated to a thumbnail image.</p>
<h4>Share your posts!</h4>
<p>This WordPress plugin installs a <strong>new sidebar widget</strong> that can display <strong>links to relevant posts on other WordPress blogs</strong> with <strong>automatic thumbnail images</strong>.<br />
The links are chosen based on common language and taxonomy (ie posts in the same language having the same tag(s) or category).<br />
The plugin uses <strong>cache</strong> to avoid multiple database and RSS query.<br />
It has its own widget control pannel.<br />
The look & feel of the post2peer widget is very close to its cousin, the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yd-recent-posts-widget/" rel="ugc">YD Recent Posts Widget</a>.</p>

<h4>Why share you posts?</h4>
<p>By using this plugin, you will automagically allow all your posts to be registered in the Post2Peer database (this uses you regular WordPress rss feed, plus a special crawler to generate thumbnails for every post).<br />
Once your posts are in the database, they will be elligible to be displayed as links on other person’s blogs (those using the plugin).<br />
Because the link selection algorithm is based on you posts’ taxonomy (tags and categories), links to your posts get to be displayed in a relevant context.<br />
This should draw new visitors to your site and improve your SEO.<br />
The inclusion in the directory is an added bonus, immediately generating deep backlinks to your site’s posts.</p>
<h4>Why display links to other’s blog posts?</h4>
<p>By enabling the Post2Peer plugin, you are able to present you site’s visitor with up-to-date, real-time info relevant to the subject the visitor is currently browsing.<br />
The links you display will very probably complement the info in your own post, so it is a way to position your site as a comprehensive reference on the given subject.<br />
The Post2Peer widget is like an enhanced RSS widget that will display relevant content agregated from a wide database of other WordPress blogs that publish similarly focused features.<br />
The fact that the content is always presented in a visual way (with a small thumbnail image next to each link) adds to the visual attractiveness of your page.</p>
<h4>It’s fun!</h4>
<p>Based on a peer-to-peer concept, the whole process will increase in quality and eventually grow to a wide community of bloggers supporting each other by automatically exchanging relevant links to posts across blogs.<br />
Even in the early stage of its deployment, this plugin is fun because it may link blog posts together in a way that you would never have expected.</p>

Post2Peer Widget

Allows to exchange and share post links + thumbnails across Wordpress blogs, based on matching tags and categories.

<p>Get the Image is one of the most advanced thumbnail/image scripts ever created for WordPress.</p>
<p>It is used everywhere from small blogs to large, enterprise-level solutions like <a href="http://vip.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress.com VIP</a>.  Get the Image offers something for everybody. Much of the reason for its success is because it uses standard WordPress code and methods for doing what it needs to do, which is to simply grab images.</p>
<p>The plugin was designed to make the process of adding thumbnail, featured, slider, gallery, and other images to your blog much easier, but it’s so much more than that.  It is an image-based representation of your WordPress posts.</p>
<p>This is a highly intuitive script that can grab an image by custom field input, WordPress’ featured image, post attachment, or extracting it from the post’s content.  Plus, a lot more!</p>
<h3>Before using</h3>
<p>Please note that Get the Image requires that you understand and know how to edit your theme’s PHP code, at least to the extent of copying and pasting one line of code.  If you’re not comfortable doing this, it’s best to ask that your theme author integrate the code necessary to support this plugin.</p>
<h3>A little history</h3>
<p>The original plugin was in launched 2008, which means it has several years of solid testing and development behind it.  It was created at a time when WordPress had very little native media support.  At the time, it was mostly used as a “thumbnail” script for magazine-/news-style sites.  But, it has grown into a much more flexible script over the years.</p>
<p>Even with WordPress’ more recent advancements in image management, many users still continue using this plugin because it offers a more robust image script than core WordPress.</p>
<p>The plugin has been downloaded 100,000s of times and is used on millions of sites as part of WordPress theme packages.</p>
<p>Other image plugins have come and gone, but Get the Image has stood the test of time with several years of successful installs and happy users.</p>

<h3>Plugin Development</h3>

<h3>Donations</h3>
<p>Yes, I do accept donations.  If you want to donate, you can do so from my <a href="https://themehybrid.com/donate" rel="nofollow ugc">donations page</a> or grab me something from my <a href="http://a.co/flUb0ns" rel="nofollow ugc">Amazon Wish List</a>.</p>
<p>I appreciate all donations, no matter the size.  Further development of this plugin is not contingent on donations, but they are always a nice incentive.</p>
