New Version 1.0.7 beta

Published by Tamer on March 1, 2008 in Lenky Plugin and News and Announcements. 0 Comments

A new version is released : (1.0.7) beta

In this new version of lenky related links plugin we added :

An Options Page “Lenky Plugin Options” Page (Options >> Lenky Plugin Options)

Click on the image for larger size

This Options page allow you to choose where the related links should show up, the defaults are to show the related results at Individual blog posts and in pages.

Showing related results at the home page of the blog caused problems for some users, and makes home page work a bit slower.

The other thing you can configure using this options page is to edit the “Related Links to this post:” as we found that some bloggers who installed lenky plugin changed it ( from the source code of the plugin ) so i think it is easier to edit it using the options page.

We are now working on adding the stats to lenky admin page( how many links of your blog posts are shown in other blogs using lenky, and how many hits you got through lenky, ……. etc. ) , also in the next release you will have an option of removing related links from certain posts ( for example : posts with personal information ) .

We are also working on improving or system to drive more relevant links than before.

Another thing is “Digg us, or write a post about lenky plugin” , the more users we will get the more links, and hits you will get from us.

Humans are better

Published by Tamer on February 24, 2008 in Lenky Plugin and News and Announcements. 0 Comments

Yes, Humans are better :) , so we decided to use the human power and intelligence to make lenky results be more related and relevant.

We are testing a new version of lenky related links plugin, this new version will make results more related, as this version will allow your blog visitors to say if a link from the related links is related to a post or not.

This version is already installed here, you can see at the end of the related results, and when a user click on it a window opens :

You can test it your self :D

all you have to do to report a link to be rechecked by lenky is to click on beside it.

This will inform lenky that this result is not relevant to that post, so we will check this result and if it is not related then it will be replaced by another result.

Thanks for all bloggers who installed lenky related links plugin, also Thanks to Ajax Agent as it is a great tool for building ajax applications.

Any Suggestions are appreciated.
