Waypath provides content related posts from the blogosphere for each of your permalinked posts. This new plugin is designed for WordPress 1.2 + Here is an example post with the plugin.
Here is a link to the plugin download.
The install is really simple and can be turned off per post as well as blogwide. No other changes needed to turn on or off.
Please post bugs on here.

Apparently, this plugin is unhappy with the 1.3x builds, b/c of the structural WP change re: the xml-rpc.
At least, that’s my best interpretation of the error message I received. 🙂
I’m using WP 1.2.1. I’ve just noticed that the Waypath plugin is no longer working. I get this error message now:
Couldn’t process request: Didn’t receive 200 OK from remote server. (HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed)
I have not changed anything. Waypath states on their site that they’ve made some changes as of Dec. 27, 2004.

I didn’t know if you were aware of this, so wanted to ask.
Take care.
I dont think that is related. It has something to do with their end and encoding on your blog. Try other permalinks on your blog to see if those do not work as well.
Hey Mark, I really love this plug-in, but on my installation in 1.2 it also is no longer showing anything other than:
nothing related
Cheers
There have been certain encoding issues on and off with WayPath and I am not sure if this is another incarnation of it or now. Try and setup a post that has some common stuff and see if it returns anything. If you get the same response and would like to get it working, please email me directly.
Thanks for your speedy response, Mark. It must have been a Waypath blip because it’s working like a hot damn now (and it is a fine plugin – kudos!)
Any word on when a version of this plugin will be available for WordPress 1.5 Strayhorn? I upgraded from 1.2 and had to disable the old plugin, but I miss the extra content.
