Housekeeping Notes

Just a quick note on some things I’ve done to, hopefully, enhance Movie Marketing Madness, mostly in the form of WordPress plugins that I’ve installed.

First, I’ve added Yet Another Related Posts plugin that will display a list of five auto-generated links to posts that related to the one you’re looking at. The list appears when you click a post slug and scroll to the bottom and will also appear in the RSS feed.

Along those same lines is the RSS Footer plugin that shows off a couple of hand-picked links to other pages on MMM that might be of interest to readers.

Next is ShareThis, which appears at the bottom of the story and allows you to easily take that story and send it to the social network of your choice as well as easily email it to a friend or co-worker.

Finally, I just added the PrintFriendly plugin that allows you to print or download as a PDF any page or post on MMM. The functionality is super-cool and you can opt to strip out pictures and other items that are superfluous to what you’d like to print out or archive on your hard drive. I’m going with this instead of uploading the PDF version of every Movie Marketing Madness column to thost posts, which never looked very pretty to me. I’ll still add clean versions to the Download MMM page but not to every post.

Like I said, I hope these tweaks and additions make the MMM experience a little more engaging and useful to anyone visiting, not only turning them on to other content they might enjoy but also giving them functionality that will allow them to spread the love.
