A Technorati Tag Plugin

Wow. That’s what I have to say is, “Wow”. Some of you may have known about my little adventures building software to create tags for Technorati to spider within my blog entries. The Technorati Tagger program even got some recognition on the Blogosphere. Tonight, I can finally put it to rest.

I discovered a WordPress plugin called TechnoTag. The TechnoTag plugin lets me edit my posts as I normally do. If I enclose a word within <ttag>a ttag element</ttag>, it becomes tagged! But that is not all. I can also add a comma delimited list of tags as a custom property to my post (in advanced editing mode). A list of linked tags shows up at the end of my posts.

No more building 3rd party applications for me. I can just edit the plugin for any little changes I wish to make and it instantly appears accross the entire site. This is sweet. I just need to find a way to convert my old posts to use the new ttaglist property.
