Today’s Sweet Plugin is called Blog Update Reminder, and could serve as a handy reminder system whether you run a multi-author blog or you blog on your own. It attempts to solve the problem of forgetting to blog on a given schedule.

The video is embedded at the top of this post’s page, with more about the plugin below.

Blog Update Reminder

Blog Update Reminder adds a settings screen to allow you to set a span of time for each of your authors. If the authors don’t contribute to the blog in that given span of time, they will be emailed a reminder to blog.
