Navigating Sites

I was chat­ting with Norm Walsh this morn­ing, and he poin­ted me at the nav­ig­a­tion tool­bar he uses for read­ing spe­cific­a­tions. It’s one of those small things that makes the web world more func­tion­al. I often miss a couple of days of posts from some blog­ger on my not-quite-every-day list and this makes start­ing on one day and work­ing back­wards till I’ve caught up much easi­er. Well, at least for those blogs that imple­ment the rel="prev" and next attrib­utes on the <link> ele­ments in the header.

Of course, after installing the Fire­fox tool­bar, I dis­covered that the list of blogs that imple­ments these use­ful links did­n’t include mine. It isn’t an integ­ral part of Word­Press install­a­tions, but since there’s a plu­gin to do most things any­one ever wants to do, the quick solu­tion (as opposed to pro­gram­ming it myself when I have time) lay just a few searches away. The META Rela­tion­ship Links plu­gin does just what I needed.
