I’d like to see a WordPress plugin that would make it easier to add related posts while allowing some control over what posts are added. I’d like to see

• ability to search for related posts by keyword, tag or category
• ability to click on individual posts to identify which ones would be added to the “related posts” list

What I often see in using some of the plugins I’ve tried is that the posts may share a keyword, but they really don’t “go” together as well as I’d like. I can always add posts manually, but that’s too time-consuming.

Something like this, I think, would give the control of choosing posts manually and the convenience of having a plugin add them automatically.

This post is an entry in Marco Richter’s group writing project. The deadline isn’t until the 21st, so you still have plenty of time to enter.

I wanted to take a minute and ask those of you who aren’t subscribed to my RSS feed to consider subscribing. I have two links to the right that will allow you to do so.

RSS is a simple way to keep up with the sites you read without having to visit each site every day to see if it has been updated.

First, you can subscribe using a reader (like Google reader). With this option, my feed will be added to a list of all your others, and you’ll see when it’s been updated.

The second option is to subscribe by email. When I post, you’ll receive an email letting you know that there’s an update.

Thanks!

We were out of town again, this time for a conference, not vacation. So once again we had to deal with eating out, irregular schedules, etc. One good thing was we got lots and lots of walking in while we were gone!

I have a couple of posts in the works, so expect those over the next day or two. Right now, I’m catching up on a mountain of laundry and trying to get cleaned up.

We were out of town, so I haven’t posted in a few days. My cousin isn’t expected to live, and we went to see her and her family.

I’m back, and I’ll try to get some posts up soon. Thanks for being patient!

I thought you all might like to know how I’ve been doing on the weight loss. In the last two months, I’ve lost 8 pounds. That’s not a terribly speedy weight loss, but perfectly acceptable. However, I haven’t been doing so well on the exercise (sigh).

Anyone want to update how your weight loss is coming?

I’m seeing quite a few new readers coming by, and I thought you might appreciate a list of recently popular posts. If you’ve missed these, you might want to take a minute and check them out.

If you haven’t already, please take a second and subscribe to my RSS feed (to the right).

12 Tips to Eat Out Without Blowing it 

Low Glycemic Diets

My recent article on eating out without blowing it was featured in the current blog carnival at Fit Buff. There’s some interesting material there, so take some time to look around.

Thanks for including me on your site!

I’m taking the evening off with the mister, so no longer posts tonight.  For me, it’s the start of the weekend, with all the perils that that brings.

I’ll see you tomorrow with another post. Have a good one!

I think I’ve said before that I weigh practically daily, against the advice of many diets. Lately, I’ve been weighing about every other day, but I find that if I wait and weigh only weekly, I can gain several pounds before I realize my weight is on an upward swing.

I’ve decided, however, to start posting how I’m doing on the blog weekly, and I invite everyone else to do the same. Post your loss (or gain, ugh!) here. I’ve lost two pounds this week.

How is everyone else doing?

First off, I want to apologize for being gone so long. As often happens, life gets hectic and some things fall by the wayside. Unfortunately, this was one of them. You can expect me to get back to a relatively regular posting schedule of a few times per week.

Any topics you’d like me to cover or talk about?
