Technorati Tags Button (updated)
I just read A Tagging Bookmarklet for WordPress and wordpress.com Users on Lorelle’s blog. She uses Andrew Beacock’s Oddiophile’s Technorati Tags Bookmarklet to add Technorati Tags. Then I thought, why don’t use a Greasemonkey userscript?
So here it is.
The button will add Technorati tags at the very bottom of the post after you enter some tags.
Update:
As Lorelle suggested, I made another Greasemonkey script to add site search tags.
I also made all-in-one Tag Button to add both Technorati Tags and Site Search Tags
And here’s the bookmarklet for the all-in-one Tag Button:
javascript:(function(){var a=''; var t=prompt('Enter Tags without commas:',''); if(!t) return; var tr=t.split(' '); a+='<hr /><p><b>Technorati Tags:</b> '; for(var i=0; i<tr.length; i++){if(i>0)a+=', '; a+='<a href='+unescape('%22')+'http://www.technorati.com/tags/' + tr[i]+unescape(’%22′)+’ rel=’+unescape(’%22′)+’tag’+unescape(’%22′)+’>’+tr[i]+’</a>’; }a+=’<br/><b>Site Search Tags:</b> ‘; for(var j=0; j<tr.length; j++){if(j>0)a+=’, ‘; a+=’<a href = ‘+unescape(’%22′)+’/?s=’+tr[j]+unescape(’%22′)+’ rel=’+unescape(’%22′)+’tag’+unescape(’%22′)+’>’+tr[j]+’</a>’; }a+=’</p>’; prompt(’Copy this code, press OK, then paste to your blog entry:’,a); })();
Update:
It works on Blogsome as well.
It’s also compatible with Opera UserJS.

This is great, but it does put the tags in links to Technorati, and I’m a bigger fan now of linking to search results within my own site, not encouraging users to leave my site to find more information, when the information they might need may be on MY site.
In WordPress, the link would be
"/index.php?s=tagword“. The slash in front of the “index” is critical, otherwise it doesn’t work, returning 404 page errors.Maybe you can offer two versions to help those who want the links to stay on their site while getting the benefits of tagging.
Thanks for the great help and the awesome Greasemonkey bookmarklet.

[...] I don’t know how I stumbled onto No Title, but I’m glad I did. It seems that there’s a simple way to add Technorati Tags onto posts. I’m currently using Post tags 1.0 by Sam Angove, but I’ve got so many categories on my site, there’s too much to look through and maintain. Guess how many I count within my WordPress Control Panel? 371! (Don’t worry, I didn’t count them by hand. I copied and pasted all the categories into a text document, then selected all of the rows for numbering.) [...]

Lou,
This is the shiznit. I was about to start putting Technorati Tags in by hand (boring and time wasting) until I stumbled on Lorelle’s blog and ultimately ended here.
I’m stuck on the All-in-one bookmarklet like glue and like Lorelle said you really should modify the code to include the “index.php” between the “/” and the “?s”.
I had to put it in myself and it works like a charm

This is wonderful! The only problem is that I’m horrible with this stuff and I don’t know where in my blog to paste the code! Can anyone help me with this? Please e-mail me or just leave a message here or on my blog.
Thanks!

In blogsome our “Link” quicktag doesn’t open links in a new window, do you have a “link” quicktag like this…I’ve been posting about this lately:

As well as email or print this blog post:

It didn’t work for me. I have no idea where I should add this code as I am not too Savvy with the codes.
Can you please let me know exactly what I need to do to have this work?
Thank you

I Modified it a little bit to support spaces…find it at he page mentioned below
if you want to group words together in the tag, then in the input box you type “a+b+c d”…you get tags for “a b c”,”d”…

I can’t get the all in one to work. I’ve installed it, but when I go to edit my post in the code part, it ends at “close tags”. There is no “tags” button like it shows in your picture.

Ryan - I was having the same problem but I’ve figured it out. You need to right click on your greasemonkey doodad, then click ‘Manage User Scripts’ then find the script and change the url from …post.php* to …post-new.php*
that fixed mine
