Onebox WordPress Plugin
Onebox: A Fancy Hyperlink Display Plugin for WordPress
What does this plugin do?
This plugin lets you use a shortcode [onebox url="http://example.com" title="optional title" description="optional description"] in place of a link that will display a lovely Facebook/Twitter-style box with additional information about the link.
WordPress has built-in support for some links like Google+ or Twitter, where it will generate a nice-looking embed from a link or shortcode, but what about other sites? Onebox aims to extend this by letting you turn any link into an embedded box, with extra features for some special sites, and with a fully customisable HTML template.
How does the plugin work?Many webpages now have metadata in their header with a descript
