The Yougler Blogger Profile Plugin is designed to work with WordPress blogs.
The plugin gives bloggers a easy way to provide a link for readers to contact them without using scripts or work arounds such as “my email is john (at) doe.com”.
Using this plugin will allow direct communication bewteen the writer and the readers without exposing the writer’s email address to spammers or spam bots.
The plugin lists the author at the top of the post and appends a link at the end of the post. The link is to the blogger's Yougler Profile page where readers can read a little bit about the blogger or blog and send mail-forwarded email. This keeps the bog from getting spam while allowing the writer and readers to communicate easily.
Plugin users may also add a signature line to their posts with their profile link.
In order to use the Yougler Profile you must first set up an account at Yougler.com/_create. It is quick, easy, and free.
After that, login to your WordPress blog, go under the Users tab and set your website address to your Yougler address. For example if your Yougler username were john, enter http://www.yougler.com/john.
Download the Yougler plugin to your desktop. Upload the entire Yougler plugin folder to your WordPress plugins directory under wp-content/plugins/.
Activate your plugin under the WordPress Plugins tab.
Click options, click Yougler, set "add signature and Yougler link at end of post to yes." Enter whatever signature you would like to add to the end of your posts in the box provided or you may leave this blank. Click update and you are done.
The Yougler Plugin will now create a link to your Yougler Profile page at the end of all your posts. The link name will be your "Display name publicly as:" setting under the User's tab in WordPress.
Yougler will display the author's name and url on each post so if a blog has multiple bloggers this should not be an issue.
Your Yougler page will provide a form mail page for your readers to contact you. On your Yougler page you can also tell your readers a little about yourself or your blog. You can also add a picture (and maybe some more things in the future).
Don't worry, Yougler is Spam free.
If you like Yougler please feel free to donate at http://www.yougler.com/_donate.php OR even better, tell others about Yougler in your blogs. Yougler has many uses so look the site over.
You can contact me with comments and suggestions at Yougler.com/pete.
BTW your readers can also insert their Yougler Profile URLs in their comments so other readers can contact them too without getting spammed.
Thanks and enjoy!
