Best Wordpress Plugin For Tags
By Ron | January 19, 2008
With the plugin Ultimate Tag Warrior not working with Wordpress 2.3x many bloggers are stuck looking for alternative tag plugins to use.
My personal choice is WP Tags to Technorati by David over at Geeky Ramblings. What the plugin does is turn your tags into Technorati links for you without your needing to use special characters in your posts to make tags like previous tag plugins used. It is all done automatically for you.
It does not affect your tags in other ways, you can still have a Tag Cloud on your blog that will link to relevant blog posts on your blog, but you will have the Technorati tags under your posts as well (see below).
A few added features include the ability to edit the wording of ”Technorati Tags” under your posts and as of version 0.7 you can even set the links to open in a new window.
I chose to further edit the php file to make the tags appear within small html tags so the text wasn’t so prominent.
So what good are Tags?
I think of tags as being search keywords for my readers. When one of my readers clicks on a tag (in a tag cloud) they are taken to posts that I have tagged with that keyword. Tags are also keywords I would like to found for on Technorati and in addition Tags help search engines sort information that is better sorted than with just categories alone.
