Auto-hyperlink URL Wordpress Plugin
Posted by Duckeldannys Money Blog under: General; Net News; Wordpress .
Description:
Today I have found this useful Wordpress Plugin, which convert normal written websites (www.duckeldanny.com) to Hyperlinks. Automatically hyperlink text URLs and email addresses that appear in plaintext in post content and comments.
This plugin seeks to address certain shortcomings with WordPress’s default auto-hyperlinking function. This tweaks the pattern matching expressions to prevent inappropriate adjacent characters from becoming part of the link (such as a trailing period when a link ends a sentence, links that are parenthesized or braced, comma-separated, etc) and it prevents invalid text from becoming a mailto: link (i.e. smart@ss) or for invalid URIs (i.e. http://blah) from becoming links. In addition, this plugin adds configurability to the auto-hyperlinker such that you can configure:
- If you want text URLs to only show the hostname
- If you want text URLs truncated after N characters
- If you want auto-hyperlinked URLs to open in new browser window or not
- The text to come before and after the link text for truncated links
- If you want nofollow to be supported
- If you wish to support additional domain extensions not already configured into the plugin
This plugin will recognize any protocol-specified URI (http|https|ftp|news)://, etc, as well as e-mail addresses.
It also adds the new ability to recognize Class B domain references (i.e. “somesite.net”, not just domains prepended with “www.”) as valid links (i.e. “wordpress.org” would now get auto-hyperlinked)

Installation:
- Download the file autohyperlink-urls.zip and unzip it into your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ admin menu in WordPress.
- (optional) Modify any configuration options for the plugin by going to its admin configuration page at
Options -> Autohyperlink (or in WP 2.5: Settings -> Autohyperlink)

I discovered the benefit of bookmarking as a medium of promoting websites. I checked my friend’s way of using bookmarks for his site and now I check it on my side.

Where I come from girls are considered to know nothing about IT, but my girls and I started a blog and promoted it to receive some visits. It’s a start but we will not back down from this challenge.
