Tag urls have changed

  Hi again

  When setting up my blog, my tags would only link to my own posts that were using those tags. For example, http://blog.cinemaautopsy.com/tag/david-fincher/

  However now the tags link to all posts on WordPress that use that tag. For example, http://wordpress.com/tag/david-fincher/

  Did this happen because I changed my privacy settings? Is there anyway I can keep my blog public but only have the tags link internally within my own blog?

  Thanks
  Thomas

  Yes, it is because of the change in your privacy settings. By default, the categories and tags in your posts plug into the WordPress.com Tag pages, which is a good thing for search engines. If you want your categories and tags to only link into your blog, you’d have to change the privacy settings back.

  Alternatively, offer the tag cloud or the categories widget in your blog sidebar. Both of those link into your own blog.

  Thanks for clarifying that and thanks for the tip about the tag cloud and categories widgets.
