Small Business Brief WordPress Plugin – Beta

Published on Feb 12, 2008   //  Development

I have been visiting a few niche Digg style sites and found one I think is appropriate for this blogs target audience. The site is called Small Business Brief and topics are all related to business. The problem was that they did not have WordPress plugin.

That presented an opportunity for me to make one (like we did for DealDotCom). I did a bit of research on Small Business Brief and found it was based on software called Pligg. Pligg is also used by Sphinn and there are a few plugins out there already for Sphinn. I adapted the following plugin to work with Small Business Brief.

The install is super easy…

Download the Small Business Brief Plugin.
Unzip the file in your wp-content/plugins folder.
Activate the plugin in your WordPress admin.
Customize the Plugin on the Options page where you can choose the plugin position.

You can choose to not have the Fetched plugin on each page and instead add the following code to a specific posts…

<!–fetchit–>

This script is still in Beta so use at your own risk. If you find anything wrong or any suggestion feel free to post them in a comment.

I have also posted the full script here.

    < ?php show_fetchit(); ?>
