Pursuing my recently acquired social bookmarking and post tagging interests, I needed a better way to add Technorati tags to my blog posts than the Bookmarklets I've seen.
Here's a post by Marshall Kirkpatrick that describes a bookmarklet he created, complete with demo and link to a screencast on how to use it. In Firefox you can drag the Javascript link to the tab bar and use it with CS or any blogging app. That doesn't work in IE and Maxthon, which I use about 95% of the time (old habits...). So to support the IE-side I adding the javascript to a link on my CSBlogs PostEdit page template -- \themes\default\skins\blogs\Skin-CreateEditBlogPost.ascx. Here's a screenshot. I formatted and cleaned-up the javascript which you can find in this textfile.
I wanted more control, so it was time to go native with a new "Manage Tags" administrative panel. I also wanted to use multi-word tags, which Technorati supports and the Javascript bookmarklet didn't. Below is what the panel looks like and an example of the HTML it spits out. The guts of the code for both the .ASCX and CSBlogs\Controls\Admin\CreateEditBlogPost.cs files are in this textfile.
The proof is in the pudding, so let's see if I can tag this sucker....
