tag

I just installed the release (as opposed to the beta) of WordPress 2.3 for this blog. WordPress.com, and hence my main blog, is running much the same code.

I previously posted that 2.3 is, among other things, the tags release of WordPress. I remarked that themes need to become tag-aware. Apparently all that takes is insertion of a new template tag, the_tags, at the appropriate point(s).

For Skimmed Milk, that’s the function skimmed_milk_post_meta, which is in functions.php. I’ve just realized that the_tags also needs to be in single.php. Or maybe single.php just needs to call skimmed_milk_post_meta, rather than doing its own post_meta stuff.

I’ve just updated WordPress to the first beta of 2.3. I had some trouble with cPanel, which still seems rather unintuitive to me, but seem to have arrived in 2.3 territory. The main attraction of 2.3 for me is tags, so I’ll apply some of them to this post.

Update: the post is tagged with beta and tag, but how do the tags show up? I guess that a tag-aware theme would help, and that I’m not using one.
