Recommended Stories for WordPress

I wrote a WordPress plugin to handle in a different way the sticky posts, i.e. as recommended stories with links into a jQuery animated box.

Installation can be done using: WordPress.org plugin repository.

Admins can select four parameters:

1. the *percent of vertical scroll* where the animated box appears
2. the *number* of recent sticky posts to list
3. if the posts have thumbnail there is an option to turn on / turn off the *thumbnail theme capability*
4. since the sticky posts are presented this way, maybe there is no need to keep them on the front page anymore, so the third option allows to *disable the sticky property of posts in the main loops*

Other features

1. when displaying a post that is sticky, the corresponding link is eliminated from the animated box
2. if the sticky posts list remains empty, the animated box is not displayed anymore

== Installation ==

1. Upload `recstory.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Unzip the archive
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

The animated box is not animated, it just appears at all times
This is most probable a jQuery conflict with the theme or with another plugin. Try to switch to the default theme and / or disable other plugins.
