It can be particularly useful if you write several posts spanning the same topic and want them tied together in some way. *Series* will automatically create archives for you and offers several ways to link your posts together. Some features: * A widget to list posts from a particular series. * A widget to list posts in the same series as the current post. * Several template tags for use within your theme. * Two `taxonomy-series.php` templates for use with the WordPress Default theme and the Hybrid theme. * Shortcodes to use within the post editor. * And more! **This plugin is for WordPress 2.8+ only.** Full instructions for use can be found in the plugin's `readme.html` file, which is included with the plugin download. == Installation == 1. Upload `series.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2. Activate the plugin through the *Plugins* menu in WordPress. More detailed instructions can be found in the plugin's `readme.html` file. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Why create this plugin? = I originally had a function to do something similar with custom fields, but using custom fields was kind of a crude method for this. By using the built-in WordPress taxonomy system, we get a lot of automated stuff like series archives and the ability to use built-in WordPress functions to display content. = What does this plugin do, exactly? = It creates a new taxonomy called "series" for use on your site. It gives you template tags, shortcodes, and widgets to allow you to more easily tie posts together in a series. = What widgets are available to use? = * Series: List Posts * Series: Related Posts = I don't understand any of this. What should I do? = You should do a little reading. The `readme.html` file included with the plugin has links to tons of resources. Everything you need to know is there. == Screenshots == There are currently no screenshots. == Changelog == **Version 0.1** * Plugin launch.
