No more "tags"
Trying out that blog publishing software, “BlogJet” – I found it’s a LOT easier to use than the blogger.com interface. Unfortunately, it does not support blogger’s version of “tags” (They call them “labels”) – It has some third party system via Technoratty – not my cup of tea.
But then I thought, well, who needs tags anyway? So I dug up my “Custom Google Search Engine” and tweaked it.
So now, if you want to see, perhaps all the posts about Petey D. Dog, just use the green box with the orange border on your left, search for “Petey”. It also searches our webstore, so if you search for “fart” it will show blog posts about farts, and also links to our fart spray, fart “pull my finger” pen, Fart noises CD, etc. Isn’t technology grand?
Furthermore, I am hoping to also have a “tag cloud” that automatically displays popular search terms below the box. This is the forte of Lijit.com, they provide a custom results page too. Unfortunately I can’t seem to tweak it to exclude certain results (such as directory pages) that do not enhance the glorious visitor experience. I sent then an email, hopefully they will have a fix. It’s probably my lack of understanding that blocks the path of enlightenment, grasshopper.
