I’ve gotten a couple of emails of people asking how I have the tags setup in Wordpress. I don’t mind answering the emails at all, but I figured I would post it here so people can find it easier. I use two different plugins together to get the effect. First is the cat2tag plugin which converts the categories system to a tags system. Then I use the weighted categories plugin(with a little fix in it’s comments) to do the list. I’ve also heard good things about the Heat Map plugin for this. Then I do a few other tweaks to complete the effect. I changed the permalink Category base field to be /tags and changing the template to say Tagged as instead of Posted in. Hope that is helpful to someone.
Update: I switched to using the modified cat2tag instead of the normal one.
