possibly related

Posted on May 2, 2008 by JH

If, recently, you have read or, god help you, written a blog on wordpress.com recently, you will have noticed an “improvement”.

The boffins at WordPress headquarters have come up with some sort of system that inserts links to related posts at the bottom of every blog. V helpful, those boffins. In fact, if you’re a blogger, you don’t even have to do anything - it just appears!

I’m not too happy about it, actually. If I think there’s a related post somewhere, I will link to it via the magic of the hyperlink.

To paraphrase some long lost political figure, “I will decide the possibly related posts, and the way they come here.”

So, I’ve turned the “new feature” off. If you would like to turn yours off too, see the instructions below:

How do I disable “possibly related posts”?

Running
None. I’ve been too busy kid-wrangling and all that sort of stuff. I can’t think when I’ll have the chance in the immediate future. Dang.

    Anything that drives up traffic is okay by me. Besides, despite the fact that they are completely unrelated, I have found a couple of interesting blogs. Hope the kid wrangling settles and you can get out for a run soon.

    Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. Finally I’ve got rid of the links.

    Hope you manage to get a bit of time to run soon.

    Another one who is extremely happy to get rid of related links, thanks for the link :)

    Hope you are settling into some kind of routine, well as routine as it can get with a newborn!
