New Site Feature: Miniposts!

Posted By: BioTecK on Saturday 19 September 2009 with 5 Comments

For a long time I was looking for a way to display Miniposts. Miniposts (or asides) are actually small blog posts that live outside of the usual hierarchy of postings. Miniposts are posts with let’s say 1 or 2 sentences in length, so that’s why the call it Miniposts! :wink:

In the past I had tried some plugins but they didn’t do the job as I would like to. While surfing on the net today, I found the solution to my “problem”. The solution is actually a plugin called: Miniposts. Kinda obvious! :roll: So from today on you’ll see my 5 newest miniposts in the tabbed sidebar which can be found to your right!

So why display miniposts?
Well, minipost can be very handy in case you like to share a link, video or anything else to your readers and you just don’t have the time to write an post about it.  You can also use miniposts to let your visitors know that there’s a new post on one of your other blogs etc. With other words, you can use it for almost anything! :wink:

In case you would like to have miniposts on your blog too, just head over to the plugin’s page and follow the instructions there!

    I love the p2 theme from Automattic for miniposts. Looks just like twitter only that its wordpress and people can comment on mini posts etc.
