The Times paywall backlash has begun. And The Guardian are leading with their new Wordpress news feed plugin. The Guardian have launched a Wordpress news feed plugin to enable bloggers to publish Guardian articles directly on their blogs.

Here are some of the things it does:

• Browse and search for articles to publish
• Post articles (or ‘Save to Drafts’) directly from your ‘Posts’ admin panel
• Automatic check-in and replace to make sure you have published the most current version of the article

But there are some rules to abide by. Some of the Guardian guidelines include:

1. Changes. You mustn’t remove or alter the text, links or images.

2. Key. If you don’t have a key, get one
at Guardian Open Platform. It’s required. If you do have one,
don’t share it or use it anywhere else.

3. Ads. Articles come with ads and performance tracking embedded in them. As above, you mustn’t change or remove them. You can, of course, use your own ads elsewhere on your blog, too.

4. Deletions. Sometimes but very rarely The Guardian have to remove articles. When that happens, this plug-in will replace the Guardian content within your blog post with a
message saying that the content is not available anymore.
