WordPress recently released a feature called “Possibly Related Links”, which automatically generates links that appear at the end of each WP post. The links are random and are determined by the tags and/or categories you’ve chosen.
However, not all of these links are appropriate and the only way to prevent WordPress from putting these links on your post is to remove the feature altogether, or “opt out”. But many WP bloggers don’t know the links are optional let also how to get rid of them because the only announcement came on the WordPress.com splash page under the headline of “Possibly an Announcement”.
And now even those of us who opted out straight away are finding our links on other blogs. On April 29, for example, someone published a cute post on shopping for gardening attire. One of the “random links” was to a poem, another to someone writing about their time on the ocean.
The third link, however, was to a post I had written September 12, 2007, about how my brother survived the 911 attack, and how our mother spent that day waiting to find out if her youngest son were dead or alive.
