Over the few weeks I will be trying out a service called Searchles Discovery. The idea for me is that is will automatically cross reference some of the previous posts that I have written and display links at the bottom of new blog posts.

Why?
It’s become clear to me that a lot of blog posts that are extremely well written and useful get lost over time as new community members seldom go back more than a few posts. I’m talking about all blogs – not just this one. If someone reads one of my posts and there is something related – I’d like them to know about it.
Initially the related content will be empty or not very good but over time I hope it can become a useful resource.
My current concern is that it might just make everything too busy.

Keith – thanks again for the write-up! To address your concern that the widget makes things too busy, we just added more customization options re: font, style, text heading to aid bloggers in fitting the widget more seamlessly into their sites. Here’s an example: http://www.neatorama.com/2009/03/08/candy-named-for-real-people/
Glad to see the widget working well for you!
Best,
Kim

A bit of a twilight zone moment.
I had just finished reading the Searchles newsletter about the changes you had made to clean up the widget when your comment arrived.
I was even feeling a little bit guilty about not providing any feedback.
Thanks for your comment and I will have a closer look at the changes.
