<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>

 and the <a href="http://post2peer.com/about" title="Post2Peer posts and sites directory" rel="nofollow ugc">Post2Peer.com open posts directory</a> to get more info on the Post2Peer project and what’s it’s all about.</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>

<h4>A plugin to make video players, thumbnails, multiple resolutions, and video galleries.</h4>
<p>This video plugin adds several options to any video uploaded to the WordPress Media Library. If your video can be played natively in your browser, or if you have FFMPEG installed on your server (optional), you can generate thumbnails from your video. Using either the “Generate” or “Randomize” buttons will create a selection to choose from. Click “Insert into Post” and you’ll get a shortcode in the post editor that will make a flexible, responsive video player.</p>
<p>If you provide multiple H.264 resolutions, Videopack can automatically select the one closest to the size of the player or a resolution of your choice, and provide a button for users to select the resolution manually. If FFMPEG is installed on your server, Videopack can encode the videos automatically.</p>
<p>You can also use Videopack to create a popup video gallery. The shortcode uses options similar to the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress image gallery shortcode</a>. In its simplest form it will create a gallery of all videos attached to the post.</p>
<p>You can now add advertisements to your videos using the <a href="https://www.videopack.video/add-ons/videopack-ads/" rel="nofollow ugc">Videopack Ads</a> premium add-on which you can purchase from the Add-ons tab of the Videopack Settings page or on the <a href="https://www.videopack.video/add-ons/videopack-ads/" rel="nofollow ugc">Videopack website</a>.</p>
<p>Not compatible with the Block Editor. Please continue to use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/" rel="ugc">Classic Editor</a>.</p>
<p>Visit the <a href="https://www.videopack.video/docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">Videopack Documentation pages</a> for more info.</p>
