Displaying ‘related posts’ without plugin in WordPress

Several days ago, we published a new way to add ‘related posts’ function into wordpress without plugins, that works. And accidently  today, in smashingmagzine i found a similar way to update ‘related posts’ function:

<?php

$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);

if ($tags) { echo ‘Related Posts’;

$first_tag = $tags[0]->term_id;

$args=array( ‘tag__in’ => array($first_tag), ‘post__not_in’ => array($post->ID), ‘showposts’=>5, ‘caller_get_posts’=>1 );

$my_query = new WP_Query($args);

if( $my_query->have_posts() ) { while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<p><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>”>

<?php the_title(); ?></a></p> <?php endwhile; } }

?>

So now there are 2 ways to update the ‘related posts’ function into your blog.
