WordPress 2.3 Has Tags
WordPress 2.3 is slated for release this coming Monday, Sept. 24. It has several new features but one that deserves particular note are tags — words that help add some meaning to the subjects of your posts.
For quite a while I’ve been using a plug in that creates Technorati tags and have been considering ditching them as I don’t get much traffic from Technorati and I’m on a quest to declutter this blog. Now with WordPress 2.3 supporting tags internally I’m thinking I’ll just move over to that system.
Here’s a quick rundown of how to add tags and tag clouds to a WordPress theme in WordPress 2.3. Looks pretty easy.
Anyhow, if you’re thinking about upgrading as I am, here are some further resources to chew on:
- Lorelle’s WordPress 2.3 Excitement and Plugins at the Blog Herald
- Technosailor: Ten Things You Need To Know About WordPress 2.3
- WordPress 2.3 Plug-in Compatibility List
I’m 100% in agreement with you. That’s exactly my plan.
One thing that’s amusing is with this blog “clean up” I think things are loading faster.

Tags and categories … the endless pain to be sure. I haven’t switched up to the new version yet but am looking forward to it. My advice to any newer bloggers who may read this comment: figure out categories and tags you might want to use early on to avoid crazy clutter!
