I don't know if this has been done before or not, but I haven't come across it.
Anyway, do you guys know how when you copy/paste a URL into the message of a TBE post, when it actually posts, it automatically pulls the meta title of that page? We need a wordpress plugin that can do something like that.
For instance, I do a weekly linkdump and I generally feature 10-15 links, each with a brief description. It is painful to have to type the anchor text (typically just the title of the blog post) then highlight it in the editor and paste the link URL or edit the link tag manually. Then go in and write the brief description.
It can take 30-45 minutes just to do a linkdump post. If I could just ctrl+c/v the 10-15 links into my post and ignore all of the copying/pasting of the URLs into the anchor text, I could whiz through the descriptions in a few minutes.
I realize that this might not be the ideal behavior for every url in a post, so ideally you'd create a tag or something similar. So that way you could do:
[linkdump]
http://domain.com/url1 - blah, blah blah...
http://domain.com/url2 - blah, blah blah...
http://domain.com/url3 - blah, blah blah...
http://domain.com/url4 - blah, blah blah...
Then all of the raw URL's just post as the actual title, yet if you have custom links elsewhere in that post, they don't behave the same way. Maybe it is just something I could use, but it would save me a ton of time once a week.
