After reducing the clutter of my categories to just one tag “Uncategorized“, I’ve been using the Zemanta tagging feature, which recommends tags based on the analysis of the text. The more I enter text into the content, the better the recommendation. If the content is too short, the Zemanta tagging feature doesn’t work and it only works when blogging through the “Visual” tab and not the “HTML” tag.
The “Recommended Tags” popped up when I typed the words “Visual” and I clicked the “Apply all” link. Why? Prior to using the Zemanta tagging feature, I had to “guess” which word combination worked best for my topic and I stuck to only ONE WORD, starting with a lower case. I studied the popular tags on WordPress and chose the ones that I liked and found that no one really re/searches “categories” or “tags”.
Tonight and out of inspiration from John Jr, I converted my “popular” categories (in lower case) to tags and started using Zemanta to “see” how my blogging experience improves, which it should because new “Recommended Tags” keep appearing! Unfortunately, the Zemanta tagging feature is not available on WordPress for Android. I had submitted a “request” to the Support team on this issue.
So far MOST of my ideas/suggestion have manifested quite a bit but without proper credit or freebees and not even a mug or T-shirt, except maybe a coupon and that was about it. Whatever. Brouhaha!
