LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Neotrope®, a California-based entertainment publishing company established Jan. of 1983, announced on Dec. 1st a free news feed plug-in for WordPress, the popular blog and CMS application. The plug-in allows a business site, content portal, or blogger running WordPress to easily integrate custom news content by topics like business, computing, entertainment, medical, or travel; and micro-topics like books, music, or software. News content is powered by Send2Press® Newswire, a U.S. based news service. “We built this plug-in to make it easier for folks who didn’t cut their teeth on hand-built HTML to more easily integrate our quality news content without knowing how to write code,” said Neotrope CEO and co-founder, Christopher Simmons.
“Using the popular WordPress platform, it’s easy to install our content plug-in, then position the content on a page, or within a template; our plug-in provides quality dynamic news across 100 different topics more easily than ever before.”

About WordPress
According to the company website (wordpress.org), “WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing.
