Slugger

A new Wordpress plugin was brought to my attention last night, called Slugger. It let’s you put a slug (the name of your post as it will show up in your permalink) right into the content of your post using a simple tag that will be hidden when the post displays. This makes it really easy to add a slug when posting from external editors like Ecto or TextMate, which don’t have built in support for the slug header, mostly because the Wordpress xmlrpc doesn’t include it.

I’m working on an xmlrpc addition to it that will add the option without taking away its current functionality. That way if a blogging client feels like adding a Slug: header and interface entry, it should be possible. I’ll see what the author thinks…
