The AlexKing.org website has been a sought after site for WordPress fans just because simply put, the site is just too useful.  From WordPress theme designs to plugins… I’ve hit that site many times over.  Now a lot of you would agree that googling “WordPress plugin” would eventually result in the AlexKing.org site as part of the top ten list.  One plugin that I loved was the Alex King’s Popularity Contest WordPress plugin.

Recently, we at BloggingPro.com recieved a tip from plugin developer Jake Bohall of GrapeThinking regarding a version of Alex King’s Popularity Contest that he’s developed that displays the most popular post that’s RELATIVE to the post that’s currently displayed.  He venturuddy the term

“smarter”, tough words… but it probably is.  I recollect I once was looking for a widget that can do that.  If i’m in a section of the blog that talks about gardening, I would want the popular posts of gardening as well now would I? :)  I think this is an awesome addition for the general blogging public.  While Alex King’s version rocks… this one… well, err… hip-hops!

Jake Bohall’s version is compatible with WordPress 2.5 or higher.  Have a looksie and download to attempt it out.  Just don’t forget to tell us what you think too ayt!

Peace.
