The previous post was about the implementation of tags in WordPress.com. The bad news was in the last paragraph of the post. I still think it’s bad news.
However, there is a way in which WordPress.com will give you links to your tag pages. It’s the Tag Cloud widget, which I’ve just put on the sidebar of this blog. I think that it works in much the same way as does the Category Cloud widget (which I’ve never used). I’m not sure that I’ll keep the cloud widget, since I like my sidebars sparse these days.
I’m using the Simpla theme for this blog. The version of it at WordPress.com is tag-aware, in that it displays tags for posts that have them, and it includes Tag Cloud among the sidebar widgets available. I’m haven’t checked out any other themes for tag-awareness.
Update: the tag cloud has not updated since I published this post. That’s strange since the post does have tags, some of which are new to the blog.
Up-update: the tag cloud did update, although it took (more than 10) hours to do so.
Have you tried changing the skin?, Or Try Removing all your tags and start again.
Thanks for the suggestion. I haven’t noticed any recent misbehavior in the tag cloud.
I have figured out a way to have a link to tags pages in a wordpress.com blog. It’s basically a simple cut-and-paste method that is easy to follow.
