The return of Web 2.0

Posted by Jesse Andrews on Apr 30, 2009

Tags have been reworked, fixing many usability issues and adding some web 2.0 tag clouds to explore the site.

Tags are now saved in a way so that capitalization and special characters (periods, quotes, %, ...) are ignored. Now the tag Google Reader is the same as googlereader and GOOGLE/reader when browsing. The tags are stored as the script author enters then as well and shown when you are viewing a script.

The site homepage has a tag cloud of the most popular tags and other tags that have a good number of scripts.

The tags page has an even larger tag cloud. There is a link to browse all tags, which is a paginated list of tags sorted alphabetically or by number of scripts.

Previously the tag list was a 200K file of weirdly sorted tags (many of which were invalid).

Jesse, so maybe you want to obsolete my latest script (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/48785), which simply inserts the tags link into the main navigation? ;)

Thanx, Jesse: I just added an "obsolete" command to the script - which now only had a live time of 2 days (but was good for learning to deal with DOM). Makes the page faster if it's built-in :-)

Btw: I remembered about my previous post when I saw the "second" tags link, but did not remember where I made it. Is there any possibility to include/link posts made in articles to the personal page ("my posts") - even if it's separated from posts in the forum?
