    I don’t know what criteria you have used to select these “Top 5 Best Related Posts Plugins For WordPress Blogs”. So far I have tested two of them. Here are my findings.

    WP-Thumbie has the least features which is number one on your list. It publishes the title of the post in blue color irrespective what was the actual color of the title of the post. There is no option to change the color. If the post does not have the thumbnail then there is no option to use your own. You have to use what the developer has given you.

    nRelate Related Content Plugin has quite a number of features but some how it is not working. I have inactivated all other plugins but still I could not make it work. I don’t know the reason. I would appreciate if someone had similar experience and the resolution he has found.

    I installed nRelate on my blog yesterday, but no matter how much I try to get it to show up, it wont! I can’t get it to appear on my blog anywhere. Do you know what I might be doing wrong? I’ve been in all of the settings and clicked show at the bottom of my posts, even others, yet it wont show up. I’m hoping someone can help me as I think their related posts plugin is the best one I have ever seen! It looks so professional. Thanks! Lorna.

    It seems you are using nrelate. It really looks good and i should try it too. I was using Linkwithin plugin but the posts are not related at all. It doesn’t deserve that name. I was using ELI’s related posts plugin before that but having thumbnails with them makes them catchy.
