Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could explain to me how I would go about having 'tags' for lets say blog posts(for a custom system) and then display a tag cloud? with the most common ones and so on? cant serialize them, so how should I do that?


Thanks a lot,

you code a way to tie keyword tags to a blog post. Then you write code that counts these keywords and echo out the most popular ones.

i would create a column keeping a live count record. Every time a tag is entered it increases the count in the column. I would do this because querying and counting every time would increase your server load significantly
