SpannerOk, so I’ve been playing with this tagging thing for a week or so now.

I’m still not convinced by it, but that I think is partly because I’m used to just using my categories. I’m trying to ensure that I at least include the categories of a post as tags, but a big problem I’ve got with tagging in WordPress 2.3 is that its hard to keep track of which tags I’ve already used.

The good thing is that this is one area that’s been addressed in WordPress 2.5. I installed the release candidate to get a look at it, and while for readers there’s not a huge difference, once you go behind the scenes as the blog admin, its had some big makeovers that I think will make a big difference. Primarily of interest to me at the moment is that the tag field now prompts you with existing tags when you start typing in that field. Magic.
