A shortcuts plugin, being a joint venture between 2 800lb gorillas? I’d be very wary of using something that may be for Yahoo’s benefit, potentially. GD.

“it just kinda makes me feel that much more vulnerable in the sacred space of the backend of my blog.”

You can’t be too careful, Jim . . . especially with all of these Communist conspiracies to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Hello, Mr. Groom,

It’s not like Wordpress has any history with questionable deals involving playing around with search engines.

All snark aside, this seems to be a vehicle for embedding Yahoo! into a blog post under the guise of functionality. Personally, I prefer the little search field in my FF browser.

But typing in the search strings is soooo hard. Maybe the plugin is a good idea after all

Glad to see you back after the blackout. The internet is a warmer, happier place because of it.

Cheers,

Bill
