The easiest way to add drudge-style news links to your blog. Add this widget to your sidebar, and combined with our firefox add-on, when you find an interesting article it can be published on your blog in only 2 clicks.

No accounts required. Completely free. Extremely easy to use.

Download: hoopler-1.0.zip (supports WP 2.0.2 - 2.8)

Instructions:

• Put hoopler.php in your plugins folder (/wp-content/plugins)
• Activate the plugin
• Add the widget to your sidebar, configure with your hoop name and number of articles.

Optionally, if you do not wish to use the widget you can invoke "get_hoopler() or get_hoopler(name, articles)" directly, ex: get_hoopler("economics", 20).

Note: The plugin will attempt to cache the hoop. Please don't be upset if it takes a few minutes for any hoop changes to be reflected on the site. The default cache time is 1 hour, this is necessary just incase some of you have unusually popular blogs.
