I've also translated it in Bangla for my sites.And would like submit to the translation, but didn't find anyway.

This is a very good plugin and does what (according to my knowledge) no other plugin does. It lists related articles at the end of the articles. Simple, clean and easy to style.

What I noticed though is that the random function is not random at ALL. It always displays the same articles. I've been using the plugin for months now and it's still showing same old articles.

A bit shame for such a overall good plugin.

Thanks for your review Mariku.

I have found this plugin to be very useful. One thing that I have noticed it does is list and article regardless of whether or not is actually published. It will even list and article that is archived.

Other than the issue mentioned above, I feel this plugin is very helpful. It was easy to install, configure, and implement.

Hi alledvoa and thanks you for your review.
The plugin don't show archived or unpublished articles. Also it shows only public article.

Redgards, SnoT.

Great idea, does just what it says, one problem for me personally is i don't like how it's a list at the bottom that sucks up more space than nessessary, but I'm picky in that sense, and would like it if there was some kind of module that came with it to display it, so that you could put it were you wanted to, and it would be nice if there was more than one colum, but besides this, great job and thanks for sharing! Cheers Josh Lewis.

I installed and with q SEO-Generator just does what I wanted to do a long time ago. Thx for this! 5 star.

now, I have a good reason to put keywords in my articles...
I thought It would be better if the articles were orderered by date of creation
I ask the developer how to modify the query and he answered very quickly
now it's perfect ;-)
