Tagging

First of all I’m not so sure tagging is useful. This is more of an experiment than anything. When I use them, say in flickr, I tend to just browse around. Maybe that’s all they’re good for…

Can google search them? How do I implement them into my sitemap?

I suppose I should add the ability to comment…

I’m using acts_as_taggable plugin. One item that makes your form much easier to code is a simple model alias alias tag_list= tag_with Now you can just use this in your form.

<label for="blog_tag_list">Tags</label> <%= text_field 'blog', 'tag_list' %>

This also saves work in the controller since you just use your normal scaffold code to create and update
