Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin works with the free GrabThatFeed(TM) service to subscribe your visitors to your RSS feed, by issuing Chrome Desktop Notifications when new posts are published on your feed. The advantage of this free service over regular RSS is that it makes your RSS feed available to non-savvy visitors who do not use an RSS reader. Your users don’t actually have to even know what RSS is.

With this plugin, you just enter your feed ID, and the embed code is planted on your pages automatically.

Alternatively you can use the included shortcode tags bto include it on a specific page.

com, so for the WP site admin, the process is seamless.

Arbitrary section

The plugin itself is a simple way to include the GrabThatFeed embed code in your WordPress blog.

It allows the user to embed the code in the wordpress template, so it appears on all pages.
