[Rest2web-develop] Tagged Pages

[Michael F. <mi...@pc...>]

I've looked at the example of page tagging at http://typepad.thingamy.com

There are now too many tags and not enough pages in his example for it
to be useful - but I think I can see it.

How about an app. with a set of tags down the sidebar. You click on them
incrementally and it gradually whittles down the number of pages that
match all the tags.

You could do it using XMLHttpRequestObject (from javascript) to avoid
reloading the entire page for each new tag - but because each new
'click' (new tag you select) is effectively a new search - you could
serve it from a CGI.

Using rest2web - you just define a set of tags for each page. As it is
going rest2web can build an XML file (or files) storing URLs and tags.

A single CGI can then be combined with a bit of javascript to allow
browsing by tag.

I'm going to implement 'tags' as a keyword immediately - because it will
help me with SEO. Nicola - does what I'm discussing achieve what you want ?

The only thing it won't allow is dynamic tagging of pages. Allowing
users to apply their own tags to your pages is one idea... (or integrate
with del.icio.us or something). With rest2web it's all static - done
when you build the content.
