Possibly Related and Mature blogs

  Perhaps if there was an incentive to mark one’s blog as adult, people would be more apt to do so. ‘NSFW’ is a tag we often use to warn people about our content, but it seems to be a big referrer as well. Many adults seek out adult-oriented material. A special page for adult material could help promote it, as well as keep it out of the mainstream. Perhaps wp could do it by reserving a category.

  I’d very much like the new feature to include a warning that the links go to other blogs. We end many of our posts with “Related posts:”. The similar wording is confusing to my readers. Calling it “Possibly related posts from other blogs” would solve my only problem with the feature, and be a step toward solving the issue of ‘R’ content on ‘PG’ sites.

  Wait…I’ve just read the opening of this thread. Am I mistaken, or has it changed? I could have sworn this was a user created thread.

  marcys, if you use the Porn or Sex tag, Mark has said you’ll be excluded from global tag pages for THAT POST alone. Maybe it will work with Related Posts? Worth a try.

  I’m kind of in the opposite situation. I posted “Wet, Nude, Potty-Mouthed Beaver” yesterday. And it’s from ICanHasCheezburger. My titles alone might freak people out.

  Bagel, there have to be three bakers’ dozens of threads about this by now. A sticky would save everyone time.

  Mark: I’d be happy to write up a handbook/guide; it’s what I’ve done for a living for the last decade. But I do it for a LIVING. It’s a bigger undertaking than can be managed on a thread, no matter how large.

  Of course, on a wiki…you could open-source it…

  True dat, raincoaster. However, the change makes my first comment look like I ride the short bus.

  Wait–
  "marcys, if you use the Porn or Sex tag, Mark has said you'll be excluded from global tag pages for THAT POST alone. Maybe it will work with Related Posts? Worth a try."

  As someone that works with mating disruption and ecology, that means several of my posts about insects are out of the system.
  I guess I won’t use that tag anymore.

  on the other hand, the Sex tag is great for hits….so it’s up to you. They may not exactly be your target market, though.

  Subtle. Nobody will notice that, good work.
