Increase your pageviews and SEO by manually selecting related posts for your content.

== Description ==

Not satisfied with automatically generated relations between posts? That's because there's no plugin out there that's smarter then you in selecting related posts!

This plugin makes it super easy to manually select related posts. You can search and select posts that fit **your** criteria, all from within the write/edit post screen.

= Features =

* Easily find posts or pages that might be related to the one you are writing with an integrated AJAX powered search utility
* Easily add and remove relations with a single click. No page reloads, no pop-ups
* The relationship created works **reciprocal**, which means that if post A is added as related to post B, post B is automatically added as related to post A as well
* Widget support
* Automatically displays a list of related posts underneath your posts content
* Flexible customization of the way the related posts are displayed

== Installation ==

1. Download the plugin and unzip,
1. Put the related-posts folder in your wp-content/plugins folder,
1. Activate the plugin through the Wordpress admin,
1. The plugin will automatically display related posts underneath your posts content. You can change this and some other settings through the plugins options page under Settings > Related Posts.
1. If you want to display the related posts somewhere else on your page, there is a set of [API functions](http://www.microkid.net/wordpress/related-posts/#API "Microkids Related Posts API functions") you can place in your theme files.
