Update to the Keyword Link Plugin
After getting quite a bit of feedback on the keyword link plug in, I hereby present the updated version.
This simple plug in allows you to specify keyword and link pairs. If the keyword is found in the article it will automatically be linked.
My original replacement routine did a simple string replace, which was fine if the words were noun’s ; but if you started to apply grammar things went wrong. (”Stonehenge” doesn’t quite change like “magic”, “magically”). The new routine checks for word boundaries which should solve nearly all problems.
To allow for styling the links, I have added a around each link to allow for modifying the link in any way you can imagine (or not). For example to make the link bold add the following to your style.css file:
.bm_keywordlink { font-weight: bold; }
Two more requests were for only linking the first mention of a link in the article, and for some links to be tagged as “nofollow”. Both are now possible.

Showing Code Snippets on your Blog
Code is Poetry by Ikhlasul Amal
A blog is a great place for displaying text but sometimes you would like to illustrate a little code and cutting and pasting it will just leave a mess. The problem is of course that a lot of the special characters (such as < and >) are removed or misinterpreted [...]
A human readable sitemap
In an earlier post I touched on the sitemap.xml file, and how it is used by search engines to quickly detect any changes made to your website and to make sure that they do not miss a page when indexing your site.
