Mod WP Into a Tag Based Blog App:

Like most bloggers, I don’t get a ton of front-page traffic. My visitor logs show that most of my visitors come via google, and land on a specific page. Given the behavior of my user base, I got thinking about how Wordpress is structured, and decided that the content I post on this blog isn’t optimized for my users.

Interesting. Reminds me of Sam Ruby’s Blog.

1. I use cat2tag, which I feel to be a superior alternative to either of the two plugins he listed.

2. Are you suggesting that the content I post on my blog isn’t optimized for my users?

3. The original URL was 500 when I tried it (seems to work on and off), but the coral link is doing fine, see http://trainque.com.nyud.net:8.....plication/

4. No Sam, not at all. I am suggesting that this use of tags to optimize the blog’s user experience makes it appear much like yours (plus it kind of looks like yours as well)

   I blame the default sized verdana plus a grey sidebar, in a sea of teensy-teeny fonts and fancy CSS designs.
