Hmm...I'd like to see a plugin which features a particular post by day, week, month or year (depending on the option settings). I don't think such a plugin exists yet

...so a post that had been updated by the plugin would appear as the latest post or remain in the same chronological order as before it was updated?

How do you see that working? As a link to a old post under a 'Featured Post' title with an admin function to allow selection of which post is to be featured when by day, week, month or year?

Exactly, the order would be the same, only the last modification data would be changed. I guess this would influance the http header but i'm not sure in this.

I see ... not sure of the SEO benefits of this, but if it's already been discussed there must be some ... I'll have a think

Yup, something like that, either randomly or with options set by admin

My existing plugin If You Liked That is similar to that, but tied to categories & included at the end of a post. I'll add your request to my list and see what I can do!

That would be great. Anyway I have downloaded your plugin and I am going to give it a spin, see whether it works for my blogs. I will install it probably after I upgrade my blogs to the new WordPress 2.2.1

2.2.1 is great ... well worth the upgrade

Any progress on the Featured plugin thing? I've tried your "If You Like It" plugin, it works great as a related post plugin (and much simpler to install compared to WASABI's) but not quite what I have in mind for the featured
