I think it's a good idea about automatic link detection, but it comes with great problems: What with sites that temporarily are not available? If a link is down at one time, it must not neccessarily mean that it will be no longer valid at all. If you then remove the link, you can never get it back.
Another thing: The more entries you have, the longer the search will take. Many hosts have 30 second execution limits which would make the plugin fail all the time, as connecting to a single link can often take 3-4 seconds. Take 100 blog entries with 120 links - this will take ages, and also cause a lot of traffic.
Marcus, about entries via mail: We have the popfetcher and mail2s9y plugins for this a long time already. :-)
i'm so sorry to say that, but i think that plugin popfetcher is not very comfortable because i can't set tags or different categories. and where do i found the mail2s9y plugin, is it the same like popfetcher?
Entering tags could be difficult in the email, you need a specific format. However, the plugin could be enhanced with this of course. And you can set different categories already. mail2s9y is something else, you need procmail or qmail server access.
Hey Garvin! Hope everything is well. I'd like to suggest having password protected entry. I understand you can use .htaccess and permission, but an ability to specify password when writing an entry would be great. Sometime I write an entry to selected people, and only that entry needs to be password protected.
