Hello.

I am Paul Kinlan.

AJAX Tagger

Paul Kinlan

I've created a new tool, AJAX Tagger, to help bloggers enhance their posts. It leverages AJAX to dynamically suggest related articles, topical tags, encyclopedia definitions, and images. It even integrates with your affiliate programs to recommend relevant products. Check it out and let me know what you think!

1 hour later and I have made the Delicious Automatic Tagger

Paul Kinlan

I've created a tool called DeliTag that automatically suggests tags for any page on kinlan.co.uk and submits them to your Delicious account. It's a quick process: hit "Goto", let the page load, click "Analyze" to see tag suggestions, choose the ones you like, enter your Delicious credentials, and press "Submit". Keep in mind, this currently only works on my site and requires IE6+ with Cross Domain Data Island support. Passwords are sent as plain text, mimicking Delicious's own method. Let me know if you'd like to see this developed further!

As a user of the Windows Blogger Tool, I've identified some desired features for future releases. These include HTML editing before posting, image and table insertion, custom style application, accurate list creation (ordered and unordered), and proper handling of element shading. While the tool is currently not comprehensive, it serves as a decent starting point. Personally, I value control over post content, so I'll likely use it for drafting and later refinement, enabling quicker text entry without immediate tagging or styling concerns.

A few quirks: smiley icons show as "(", apostrophes look odd, and images/tables aren't supported. Planning a follow-up post with my feature requests.
