BN Guess Blog Name does one simple thing. It strips the following words out of a provided variable: _detail, _archive, _landing, etc.

Example use:

{exp:bn_guess_blog_name segment="{segment_2}"}

You have template code that is almost identical for the Articles and News section of your site, except the weblog name is different in each template. You can turn that common code into an embed, and pass in the weblog name as a variable (weblog_name=“news”) Unfortunately, if you have multiple levels of embeds it can be difficult to keep all of the embed variables straight several layers down. If your template name is based on the short name of your weblog, you can use this plugin “guess” the name of the weblog from the template name in the page’s url_title.

If, for example, you have a weblog named “news”, and a template called “news_detail”, this plugin can shorten the word “news_detail” and output the word “news” in the exp:weblog:entries tag. As i mentioned, this is probably really only useful if you have multiple weblogs using the same custom fields, and you have lots of nested embeds.
