for the Wordpress Version 2.0 . . .
I have upgraded and consolidated my old Contextual Related Posts Plugin for Wordpress. This new version (1.1) is a simple install (just install the plugin file) and it will show the last 5 related posts from your blog. The display show the links right after the comment form. The matching is done with the post title of the post being viewed. Examples include my Green Car Blog (wordpress 2.0) and Desi Dalal (Wordpress 1.5)
PS: Some theme authors tend to remove default actions from their themes (Rin is a good example). If you are having problems displaying the related posts, please check with your theme author or post a comment here for help.

Please post bugs and comments.
[edit] The follow is Bob’s code from the comments below:
After much goading from a few well wishers, I finally had the chance to clean up and build a plugin out of the Top 10 Posts and Views per post hack for Wordpress. This should work and has been tested on Wordpress 1.5 and Wordpress 2.0 beta. Please post bugs, suggestions etc.
Installation should be very simple. Upload the plugin, enable and then add the single line function(s) to your template where you want the display. Example at my GreenCar blog.
Top 10 and most viewed Download [EDIT] Plugin Updated for 1.5 support. Please redownload if you were having problems.
Wordpress.com out of beta: If you have always wanted a Wordpress.com blog but have lacked an invite, this is your chance. Wordpress.com is now public and anyone can sign up. This is pretty cool. Go Automattic!
Tim Yang and Ozh have released Problogger Clean, a clean 3 columns theme with original features mostly aimed towards Adsense.
Options are managed from an admin panel (using Wordpress Theme Toolkit) which gives the theme a lot of functionalities and customization possibilities.
The theme comes with built-in ads, so you won’t have a hard time trying to implement ads in a theme that was not designed for it. Its feature I like best : “Adsense Click Safety“, which prevents any click you could make on your own ads to be recorded, therefore to be counted as fraudulent.

Kaushal has released three 2 column themes for Wordpress. They might even be fall themed.
