Categories interblogged
-
When I klick on a category in a post of my blog I’m led to a general Website (WordPress.com Tags (beta)) showing equally named categories from other peoples’ blogs. Is this real, true, future — or what?
Kind regards!

Yeah, it’s the new global tags feature. I wish there were a way to turn it off. I would prefer for my site readers to get taken to other posts of MINE with similar categories instead of other posts of everyone else.

They can still do that by clicking on the sidebar links. But this is potentially very confusing for readers. You have links with identical text in the post and in the sidebar, but they lead to different places. The ‘title’ attributes need to be edited in all themes to make it clear that these tags relate to wordpress.com as a whole. It’d take, what? ten minutes?

I agree on the confusion issue. It would be nice to have it like del.icio.us tags and Flickr tags. I know they are in the sidebar; but I still think it should be one of two or both.
When you see the tags you have an icon next to each to take you to the global tag page ala Flickr. Or on the tag pages a link to it’s global tag variant.

First time I noticed it. It’s on of the reasons why I think technorati is just a method to sell adverts on a site with a very high Google PR myself….
I feel that they should be going to your own categories, not off site.
<rant>This better not be in the regular version of WP. I’m going to have some very annoyed clients…</rant>
edit: This is kind of cool though…

Maybe a line that says “Blog tags:” pointing at your own categories followed by a “Global tags:” line….
