Between bouts of testing LightPress and customizing a fork of the WordPress admin interface, I found some time to work on that old favourite, Jerome’s Keywords. The latest version of this keywords + tagging plugin features some bug fixes and a few tweaks:

• Fixed the nefarious uksort() bug (which should never have seen the light of day)
• Fixed a minor bug in the tag cosmos scaling
• The local keyword search now includes results for tagged pages
• You can now generate Flickr- and del.icio.us-style links in your cosmos or top-X lists by using %flickr% and %delicious% respectively. I’ll post an example shortly on the cosmos howto page.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback about the above, especially to Denis de Bernardy who suggested fixes to the first three items.

After finishing this update, I think it’s time for some serious refactoring of the plugin code. It has grown very organically — perhaps too much even — thanks to all of the suggestions I’ve received. The time is right to finally add an administration page. I’d like to aim for simpler WP template tags, with most of the customization done within the admin interface. If you’re lucky, maybe you won’t have to use any template tags at all. mailliw has also sent me some intriguing ideas that would really push the tagging aspect to a new level. The next update should be a big one (barring any new bugs), so please hold tight.
