I suppose I should be working on the two upcoming week-long workshops I’m doing, but they seem far away and already pretty well planned. Instead, I’ve been playing around with this blog…learning more about tags and technorati. This article from A Consuming Experience<\/a> was a good place to start.<\/p>\n

I added technorati tags<\/a> to Virginia’s Community of Learning with very little trouble. It is hosted at blogspot so I was able to install Greasemonkey and then a “user script” that added tag fields to my blogger posts. This is all new to me but very exciting. In the process of learning about user scripts, I found one that will read a webpage. Unfortunately, it’s only for XP so I couldn’t immediately try it out. I’ve got a laptop from WM, though, and will try it out soon. I’ll incorporate it into my AT class this fall.<\/p>\n

Flushed with success, I turned to my WordPress blog. I was particularly taken by Ben O’Neill’s plugin<\/a> because I like those grids where the tags are larger or smaller depending on usage. I thought I followed all the directions but could never get it to work. I did get to the point where I was getting an “implode” error message that means–according to Ben–I just don’t have any tags yet. I thought I added tags but am not sure I used the correct form.<\/p>\n

So, I’m back at it this morning and just installed Bunnys TechnoratiTags plugin. So far, so good…the text box has appeared where I can enter my tags. I’m going to do that. Then turn on Ben’s plugin and add the code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
