Wordpress itself was a great help for this. It allows metadata to be added really easily, and consistently, in key/value pairs. And it allows each key to have multiple values.
So have a key called “Tag” and at the end of each entry I’ve added this (in index.php and single.php):
<?php
$tags = get_post_custom_values(’Tag’);

Dave over at Davblog is complaining that the rcruitment agents Huntress sending him spam. So it’s not just me, then. Dave says he keeps asking them to remove him from their mailing list and his pleas are ignored. I’m sure that when I dealt with them I pursued them to remove my name from their [...]
The first few photos of Ireland can be found on a single, simple page here or in super-slick slideshow here. However my first real taste of using Flickr has been disappointing. Many steps had to be done individually (eg setting the date taken), the ordering of photos seemed to be arbitrary and unresponsive to changes, [...]
Two acts of civic mindedness by the fine citizens of Archway made my morning this morning when I went to the post office to get my E111 stamped for our trip to Ireland.
After some circling I finally found a parking spot on Junction Road and when I got to the pay-and-display machine I saw something [...]
I don’t know if David Temkin is going to induce the same shock as the crowd in an HM Bateman cartoon, but he’s gone and said that Ajax might not be ready for primetime. What a relief someone’s said it.
As soon as Google produced GMail and Google Suggest and Google Maps they raised the bar [...]
We’re off to Galway next week for some friends’ wedding. The happy couple have said something that I wish I’d heard more often before: no wedding presents, please, but you may donate to a charity. They’ve used an exciting service (new to me) called The Alternative Wedding List to help their guests.
Our friends say “with [...]
Lloyd’s latest reason to vote Labour concerns the minimum wage. He says “A minimum wage is the sign of a modern, progressive democracy, and Labour do NOT get enough credit for introducing it.” I agree. But I think it’s very telling that this is the first reason which is positive about Labour. He took 1 [...]
Simon Waldman reports a Rupert Murdoch speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
Says Mr Waldman:
By Jove, I do believe he’s got it. All read very eagerly no doubt over in Wapping.
“I don’t hold out any hopes for people to be paying for our Internet sites,� he said in response to a question (says Paidcontent.org) [...]
Following my previous post (and the rest of the world’s similar postings) on Conservative candidate Photoshopping, my close personal friend Grammarpuss points me to GU’s Politics Gallery, with even more fun and merriment.
Dearest reader, come with me and let us enjoy together the warm glow of satisfaction that comes from reading a till receipt that delights in its own detail. This is from a recent shopping spree in After Noah, in Islington. (Though in retrospect doesn’t it betray a day of careless frivolity?)
