hey there…

i really don’t know how to code this, if i could i would do it.

i would like an auto tag generator.

The script reads the text inside the post and makes optional tags so you just click on it and you add them just like that.

what do you think about it?

Only thing about that is every word would effectively be a link so if you mean to have links in your post there not going to stand out.

You could use what NYT uses, that sometimes annoying function that opens a search when you click on any word on an article page. I think it’s from answers.com.

Try clicking a word in an article on this page to see what I mean:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/22/business/media/22warner.html

When you click a word, you get a little [?] icon, and clicking that brings up a search for that word.

Here’s the JavaScript (I think):

You could use *something* like that to accomplish what you want to do. The post would not necessarily look like all links.
