Fixes/Improvements for the Wordpress plugin

There are a couple issues I have with the Embedly Wordpress plugin.

First, right now the plugin requires a link to be on a separate line. But I have a twitter import set up, so I'd need to go and edit each post after it's posted to make sure the link is on its own line. It'd be nice if there was an option for this plugin to work regardless of where the link is in the post.

Second, it doesn't seem to detect any text that's inside anchor tags (aka <a>). How about an option to ignore (and remove) those anchor tags?

Third, how about importing images to my media library in Wordpress, and being able to set maximum dimensions (allowing readers to click the image to see the whole thing)? I'm linking to images that are over 1400px wide, and naturally that doesn't work very well in a blog. (I know I could use some CSS to shrink it down, but that's not a very good solution.)

Embedly piggybacks off the core WP Embeds module, which requires the separate line and does all the parsing of the post.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds  -- I would suggest throwing a support ticket to WP.

Keep us updated on your progress.
