I’m testing out Windows Live Writer. I think it is a great tool and here are a few reasons why:
works with WordPress
allows me edit multiple blogs without logging into each blog
allows easy insertion of maps, pictures, and video (drag and drop anybody?)
However, I did not see any tag suggestion tool that works on WordPress 2.3.
So here we go again. Another whole day o’ natterin’ like a pirate wit’ only a single glance instead th’ th’ double glance that happens th’ rest o’ th’ year.

WordPress 2.3 now has built in tags. Tags are similar to categories.You’ll need to have these installed and running.
WordPress 2.3
Tag Suggest Thing
Tag Suggest Thing by the author of Ultimate Tag Warrior will query Yahoo for tag suggestions. This is easier than trying to come up with tags yourself and type them in.
At http://richgilchrest.com/how-to-add-wordpress-23-tags-to-your-current-theme/ we learn how to add a tag cloud to your theme. There are two suggested places this would be good at. As a widget using Execphp, or directly in your themes code.
If you are using execphp you would add in a simple line of code that looks like:
For more options see the WordPress document. (smallest, largest, unit, number, format, orderby, order, exclude, include)
The other way to see a tag cloud is to edit your theme directly. You can add it to each post, or add it to a side column. To add it to each post you will edit your themes index.php and single.php. And add code like the code above.
If want a tag cloud in a side bar you would add this code to your themes sidebar.php.
If your theme is widget ready, consider using the tag cloud widget instead.
So The SCO Group has filed Chapter 11

Does this mean the end of lawsuits against Linux or pieces thereof? I don’t think so. Linux and its licensing system represents a fundamentally different set of thinking from the corporate world. For some Linux is a belief system. Personally I like it and wish more companies supported it for day to day operations in user-land. My server closet is full of Linux in backbone operations.
The suit by SCO against Linux was more of a puppet show run by bigger players than SCO. It was set up in a win-WIN situation for these puppet masters. Win 1, only SCO or Linux is out of the picture. WIN 2, both are out of the picture. Somehow it only polarized the Linux fan base by martyring Linus T. with only minimal overall effect on SCO which was already setup to get itself out of the corporate picture.
Any guesses on the next round?
That would be the floppy disk. The last widely used version was a 3.5 inch disk in a hard shell. Inside it may have been floppy but anybody could quickly figure out that actually folding this disk would lead to its immediate destruction.
Flash drives and other media formats have done in the floppy disk. With emphasis now towards digital media content, typically the floppy disk can’t hold a single song under medium to high quality encoding.
Windows 3.11 for Workgroups and MS-DOS 6.22 was distributed on less than a dozen 3.5 inch floppy disks. The Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems would have only taken around 450 floppy disks if distributed that way. Windows Vista, if distributed on floppy disks would take over 2000.
Even the smallest flash drives you can find for free hold 50 times the space these disks can hold. A common flash drive size is now 4GB which is approximately 2500 times the size of a 1.44MB floppy disk.
So what do you do with all your old floppy disks?
