LinkWithin has disappeared

Many years ago I added a feature onto TYWKIWDBI, created by LinkWithin.  It added several images at the bottom of each post linking to previous content on the blog.  I thought it was a useful feature, and from the metrics I was able to monitor, it seemed to be used extensively by readers to explore random old posts.

Now it seems to have disappeared - without warning or explanation.  So this question for other bloggers: is this feature available outside the Blogger system under a different name, or are there other equivalent add-ons I could add to my blog's template?

  1. That was a very fun feature.

  2. Yes, but frustrating also, as one (well, me) would have an epiphany of humour about one of the subjects but then realise I was some years behind the play.
    Still, I spent many happy time units wandering your collection, by all means get it back if you can.

  3. Is it possibly a glitch that will be remedied soon?

  4. I hope it's just a glitch too and will be restored. It's not quite the same but I use code to pull up more posts about one of the labels that's associated with a post - when you arrive at a post singularly. I'm happy to share if you're interested - Johan (perfectforroquefortcheese.org)

    1. My posts do have "label" designations that readers can use, but the nice thing about LinkWithin was that it often sent people to random, unrelated old posts, which introduces an element of adventure to the visit.

    1. Yes, I had seen that. I did email them at the "support" address to inquire whether this was a temporary closure pending revisions and if not could they suggest an equivalent competitor, but I have received no reply.
