MyVariables Wordpress Plugin

MyVariables is a Wordpress plugin allowing content authors to embed variable content into their pages and posts. Through an easy-to-use interface in the Wordpress admin section, users can manage their variable content, updating numerous posts with a single click. MyVariables is best suited for small amounts of content such as image directory paths, e-mail addresses or other information that is subject to change over time.

MyVariables has not been tested in versions of Wordpress earlier than 2.2.
