But it is extremely unlikely that people will use the same tags if they are "lxmusic 0.4.3". Even if, this tag will only have a very few posts, so it will never appear in a tag cloud. It's not even in out tag cloud. > There are also other ways to do this, but this is one way. > There will be more ways to search this way, e.g. "Search all FOSS > blogs for the tag 'LXDE".

I was referring to the wiki category LXDE, not to the LXDE tag in the wiki. The category in the blog is useless and causes one more page with inaccurate or outdated information. ATM only 71 of 108 blog posts are tagged LXDE. If we really want to have *everything* tagged LXDE we should do this in the blog template, so the tag gets applied automatically. On the other hand we have 407 tags in total which is just too much I think. It distracts people and the search bots from the real content. People coming from search engines will land on the tag page http://blog.lxde.org/?tag=lxmusix-0-4-3 instead of the article http://blog.lxde.org/?p=631 itself. If we really want to optimize the blog for search engines, we should use URL rewriting to get nice looking URLs like http://blog.lxde.org/lxmusic-0-4-3-released However this requires mod_rewrite on the server and it doesn't seem to be available or at least active. > Also, as I observe nowadays many people who are looking for > information tend to search for "keywords" instead of searching top > down like in categories. Extensive tagging also makes sense in this > regard. Technorati automatically converts categories of wordpress etc. to tags. As long as I haven't played around with Technorati's tag search I can only make guess, but I think we should be in there anyway. Please drop me the URL of it. > What do you think? > > - Mario Regards, Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
