Make Tabbloid

THE END HP recently removed 3rd party access to their Tabbloid service which breaks this plugin. An entirely open source alternative which can be self-hosted, called ‘Make PDF Newspaper’ has been developed and can be downloaded here.

The ‘Make Tabbloid’ plugin integrates with HP’s Tabbloid Service to automatically create printer friendly ‘tabloid’ editions of your WordPress blog in an attractive magazine/newspaper format.

The plugin includes a widget to let you control how you advertise your ‘tabloid edition’. You can also choose to display a thumbnail of your custom newsletter (powered by http://view.samurajdata.se/) to let your readers see what they are missing.

Key features

• NEW! – Option to include QR codes for each post
• Customisable banner text (default is Today’s Tabbloid)
• Option to automatically footnote all the links which appear in a post (using tinyurl to shorten long links)
• Integrated widget to display thumbnail of your publication (or function code to include in your template)
• Option to aggregate more than one RSS feed within your publication
• New editions automatically generated when new posts are added

See the ‘screenshot’ for a summary of the features.
