Jiglu – Tagging heaven

In this Web 2.0 world we live in, tagging is one of the mainstays of networking your material. If you start as you mean to go on and get into the habit of listing relevant keywords or tags at the end of every post, you should be able to maximise the usefulness of the humble tag without too much discomfort.

However, tagging is still not totally mainstream, and some of us who want to move on from Web 1.1 and adopt the tag fad are faced with severe updating hassles. For instance, a while back there was a major update to my blogging software and tagging became a standard feature. Better late than never, I thought, but when faced with the reality of tagging 1200 posts, the new feature looked more like a new penance than a thing of beauty.

For once my procrastination was rewarded and I recently came across an automatic tagging service. Thank you London for Jiglu. If you look in the left sidebar of my oh so humorous web site you will see a Jiglu box with auto-generated tags. Click on them and see what happens. Cool hey. All the tagging work done for me, and even divided into topics, people and events.

If you register for free, paste their code into your template and wait a couple of days, the Jiglu robots will do the rest. What do you think?

Right, now where do I put tags in this antiquated WordPress software.
