<p>Enhance your sports posts with rich, detailed metadata about games, teams, and players, and with live game photos.</p>
<p>SportsPost 2.0 allows WordPress editors to search for player names of athletes in major North American sports leagues, and drop their names directly into their post. These names can then hyperlink to externally hosted Player Profile pages, with expanded news, statistics, and photos of those players.</p>
<p>Bloggers can also optionally register at http://SportsForecaster.com/affiliates to generate advertising revenue from their links.</p>
<p>SportsPost 2.0 also allows editors to search or browse the over 3 million sports photos from Icon Sportswire — a leading sports photo wire service. Selected photos can be inserted directly into any post — without leaving WordPress. Photos can also be imported into WordPress’s Media Library.</p>
<p>Photos are for editorial usage only, and editors must register at IconSportswire.com for an account and login credentials. Photos can licensed using prepaid Credits (no long-term contract necessary), or can be downloaded as part of a monthly subscription package.</p>
<p>SportsPost 2.0 also includes “preview functionality” that allows WordPress administrators to add Sports Widgets from XML Team onto designated locations of any page. Our forthcoming 3.0 release will make it easy to select widgets and drop them in place. Visit the “Support” tab and drop us a message if you’d like more details.</p>
<p>Future versions will allow editors to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Select Sports Widgets that will automatically update your website with current sports coverage.</li>
<li>Identify posts as being Game Previews or Game Recaps for particular sporting events, and then automatically include supplemental game information.</li>
</ul>

<p>The plugin allows authors to rank and list ANYTHING and display the table of rankings in posts or pages. Authors can create comments when they create rankings which are displayed below the rankings / list in the wordpress post or page. Created with sports teams and athlete list / rankings in mind, but can be used for anything you want to easily list or rank. We came up with this idea to help multiple authors list / rank players on our fantasy football website. We’ve seen people use this to rank the top sports teams and players for fantasy baseball and fantasy basketball too.</p>
<h4>Key features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Upload or manually create default list to be used on any rankings / list you desire. </li>
<li>Multiple Authors</li>
<li>Composite of all authors list / rankings</li>
<li>Show <a href="https://gravatar.com/?" rel="nofollow ugc">Gravatar</a> for Authors above their name and rankings / list table.</li>
<li>Users can sort rankings in the post for each author, default order is based on composite.</li>
<li>Set default rank order for authors when created list.</li>
<li>Drag and drop items being ranked (wordpress admin area)</li>
<li>Upload csv list of items (players) or manually enter them.</li>
<li>Three custom fields for adding information about items being ranked. example: Player Name, Team, Position</li>
</ul>
<p>Admins can create player lists and rankers. Authors can only rank players.</p>
<p>Useful for rankings and list of anything you desire but optimized for ranking athletes. For example: You can upload (or manually create) a list of NFL players then authors can sort those rankings in post or pages. You can create top 10 list, top 100 list, top 10 rankings etc for NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL players with ease! Fantasy Football websites will find this extremely useful when creating <a href="http://fantasyknuckleheads.com/fantasy-football-rankings/" title="fantasy football rankings" rel="nofollow ugc">fantasy football rankings</a> for the draft and weekly matchups.</p>
<p>We use custom post types to create list and rankings.</p>
