This release removes the excess trailing slash and uses a plus (+) sign in place of the hyphen (-) used in separating slugs of the multiple word tags. The download link has been updated and it is advised to download the latest version to produce a more accurate Technorati tag search result.</p> <p>Curretn Version: <strong>1.1</strong> </p> http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/topic/wp-plugin-technorati-tag-cloud-for-wordpress-23#post-1619 Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:22:24 +0000 gormful 1619@http://weblogtoolscollection.com/news/ <p>In a previous <a href="http://gormful.com/2007/09/29/testing-things-wordpress-things/trackback/">post</a>, I posed the question "what's next?" I guess it was just a matter of time before I try digging deeper into WordPress 2.3's taxonomy schema, more specifically, the native tag cloud support.</p> <p>There's nothing wrong with <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.3">WordPress 2.3</a>, honestly. At least, for me. I like it, even if a lot of people aren't very happy with the database changes it made in the background. I can't blame them. No matter how many times someone explains the impact those changes will make, it will still confuse most of the WordPress users out there, including me.</p> <p>So what did I do now? I wrote <a href="http://gormful.com/projects/wp23-technorati-tag-cloud/trackback/">another plugin</a> that will display the tag cloud linking to <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/">Technorati</a> instead of the blog. A plugin involving Technorati tags again? Do I have an unknown addiction to Technorati? Do I love Technorati that much?</p> <p>To tell you the truth, I don't even know how Technorati works. I just know that it crawls the web for posts tagged with some keywords, and that's it. It may be good for SEO, but it all goes over my head as I don't know jack about SEO, also.</p> <p>What I know is, if there's a need, someone will provide it. If no one will, then one must fend for his own. And that is why I made this plugin. Not only do I get to help out - well, at least I think I do - but I also learn a great deal about how WordPress works and some PHP programming. </p> <p>Hope this new plugin release addresses some of other people's concerns. If not, then please let me know what I can do.
