Keith Dsouza from Techie Buzz emailed me today to let me know about a new wordpress plugin he has released called Better Tag Manager. Keith decided to completely remove categories from his blog and and instead uses tags. Visitors can then search for posts using his Tag Cloud.
Better Tags Manager WordPress Plugin
Basically, this plugin lets you edit the tags of your posts more easily. More specifically, it allows you to edit the tags of posts from the main post area ie. you don’t have to go into each post indvidually to edit the tags. There is an option to tag all posts with the same keyword however in my opinion this kind of defeats the point of using tags in the first place.
It’s a pretty straight forward plugin however if you use tagging a lot on your blog it’s definately worth checking out as it will speed up mass editing of tags 
You done really a great job by sharing Better Tags Manager WordPress Plugin.Its really nice Tag.
What would you say are the most important reasons for using tags? and are they totally necessary??
David – Personally I don't use them. I feel that categories and the search option is more than enough. However, blogging tips author recently wrote a good post on Xfep entitled Are Tags Dead? pointing out some benefits of them.
Cheer Kevin.
I currently dont use them either, so maybe I can be converted.
