Instructions
Installation:
put the tagalizertags.php file into the wp-content/plugins directory.
What it does:
This plugin allows you to setup tags easier. You can insert the text markers into the body of your post and they will be converted into the tag and ping tags. They will modify the text in one of several ways: Add a rel=’tag’ type or a rel=’tag directory’, add tags to tecnorati, ice rocket or your own blog, and tags can also point to categories, search or tag pages.
How to use:
1) Tags are defined as a start tag, text, and an end tag. The start and end tag are the same tag except the end tag must start with a “/”. For example start tag is [ tag-tec ] the end tag must be [ /tag-tec ]. The text between the start and end is the text.
2) In your post just wrap your tag text in one of the tags below. example: [ tag-tec ]tagged stuff[ /tag-tec ] -> will generate <a xhref=”http://www.technorati.com/tag/tagged+stuff” rel=”tag”>tagged stuff</a>
3) There are several modifiers that can be used. These add features to the tag text. Modifiers are ‘+’, ‘-’, and an alternate tag. Example: [ tag-tec -]tagged stuff[ /tag-tec ] -> will generate <a xhref=”http://www.technorati.com/tag/tagged-stuff” rel=”tag”>tagged stuff</a> (new in 0.10)
Advanced Method:
Example: [ tag-tec taggedstuff ]tagged stuff[ /tag-tec ] -> will generate tagged stuff<a xhref=”http://www.technorati.com/tag/taggedstuff” rel=”tag”>tagged stuff</a>.
Note: That the ‘-’ modifed the href tag (highlighted) and the second one replaces the text with the override.
3) New in 0.10. there is a new requested feature for tag directories. These are meant to be used when you want a new tag to be indexed. There are 3 mods for this: category, search and technorati directory. Each of these replace the rel=”tag” with a rel=”tag directory”.

- [tag-tec] - basic technorati tag - overides allowed all.
- [tag-ice] - basic ice rocket tag - overides allowed all.
- [tag-dtec] - Directory technorati tag - overides allowed all.

Thanks for all the information. I have put tagalize it into my plugins in wordpress.
However, forgive my ignorance but it is still not clear to me what I need to do when I post on my blog.
Do I put for example [tag-tec] [/tag-tec] in my blog with my tagwords or keywords in between ?
so my tag words would be [tag-tec] business online [/tag-tec]
I hope I got this right. I’m very new at this
Thanks

Answer from todd:
yep. in your example with “business online”, it will create a link to technorati that will link to the tag page “business+online”.
One thing remove the spaces between the tag and the word. [tag-tec]business online[/tag-tec]. since it can cause unexpected results. (not bad results, just slightly different.)

I agree with what David said on March 31,2007 - I need some examples of what I am supposed to do with the tags [tag-tec]www.mylink.com[/tag-tec]???
Thanks,
Wade

Answer from todd:
generally you do not link a web site. The idea of tagging is to tag a word(s) that will show up in technorati and ice rocket. Normally your site will not show up as a tag, so it would not be as helpful. I would put the link in as a normal Anchor (a href=”http://www.mylink.com”) and not do that as a [tag]

I uploaded the plugin as a zip file not a php file. Is that a plugin. Forgive me, I’m new to this and I don’t really know what I’m doing

answer from todd:
you need to upload the .php files into the plugin directory. Plugins have to be unzipped to be run.

I totally love this widget! It’s a great new addition to my stockpile.
It’s working great in my blog. I’m going to add it to all my new posts and eventually go through the 150+ posts I already have.
Thanks for a great widget!

I seemed to have worked it out. Do I place the tags in the visual editor or does it have to be done in code? Also can I place more than one tag around the same word eg [tag-tec][tag-self]tagged words[/tag-self][/tag-tec]?

The tagging replaces the need for one to remember the exact html “a” tag. So the double tag would not work.
You do not have to dip down into the code to use the tags. So for my editing, i just write away, then come back and highlight the words that i am trying to have indexed better (staying on topic) and add the tags around words. I also try to spread around the tags to different destination sites. but generally i hate dipping into html.

Tonya,
Can you provide some examples on how you are tagging your blog posts?
Comment by Ben — February 18, 2008 @ 3:59 am
I installed TagalizeIt., but I am stumped on how to use your plugin. Can you show a screenshot on how to properly tag blog posts?
How can I see if the tag actually worked on Technorati? What is Ice Rocket?
