• I’ve created a plugin that allows you to add technorati tags to your blog entries. Just add a “technorati” custom field with comma separated tags to the blog entry!

    The plugin’s made feature is the list of tags it can generate (similar to the tag listing on the main support page here) that change size and colour depending on how frequently the tag is used.

    It’s still in early development, comments and suggestions are welcome.

    The plugin can be found here:

  • This is a great plugin but I’m having some troubles. The explanation in the readme and site are not very good and I found solutions to a bunch of the first issues in the comments. Still, I want to get this to work.

    The issue is that I don’t use permalinks. In order for this to work, you just have to “UPDATE PERMALINKS”, per instructions, whether you use them or not, and “something” is written to the .htaccess in order for the links in the tags to be directed to a page which will display the posts related to that tag on your site.

    When I did the Update with nothing in the permalink fields, the .htaccess (set at 777) did not change. From one of the comments, I followed their tip to set up some form of permalinks and hit Update, which did write to the .htaccess file with changes, and then removed the permalink instructions and click Update again, which SHOULD remove the permalink rewrites but didn’t. I had to manually go in and remove the redirects to posts and pages on my site.

    According to the comments and plugin code, it should show the related posts on the archive.php template. I don’t use one so I just copied my index.php and called it archive.php.

    So, what is there in the rewrite that has to be there and “work” in order for the technorati tags in this plugin to be able to be clicked and to load a page with the list of posts related to the tag?
