Lookit!

Late last night/early this morning, literati, my personal code monkey bestest friend, ♥♥♥, tweaked the code for my journal layout to add a taglist in my sidebar, and also to make my tags appear in a heirarchical form on my tag page. (How to.)

Wassat, I hear you thinking? It's this - isn't it nifty? But of course, that only works if you have your tags organised, and I... didn't. So, I went through my tags and renamed them into something that would look pretty when the code went live. (Heads-up to anyone who had any particular tags bookmarked or linked.)

Then I figured that there might be some improperly or incompletely tagged posts in my journal, so I went back to the beginning and started checking, post by post by post.

24 hours later, I have added over 70 formerly untagged older drabbles and drabblesets (some over 2000 words!) to my btvs:s/x:misc tag (and if I have to explain that acronym, you don't know me at all. *g*)

Lesson for the day: Sometimes, a touch of OCD can be a good thing. :D

BT Update: They're still a$$hats, but finally, after 24 hours or so, the illegal, immoral cookies from hell stopped appearing and messing up my ability to browse. There is still some lag time between my clicking a link or typing in an url and hitting 'go' and actually having the page start to load, so I may still be being rerouted through the Webwise servers, but BT haven't contacted me at all to discuss the matter, despite promises of <24hr responses to my emails. I'm still looking for a new ISP. And I will be complaining to someone further up the foodchain.

It's so pretty! And you can choose your own separator. I went with : because I've been using that for tags in several of my comms and it's second nature for me to type. :D

Its just a bitch for me to get it to work right now on my current style (Smooth Sailing with lots of CSS)

When I change theme (and it will happen soon) I will attempt it again.

I should look as what I'm logged in *sigh*

Yeah, the CSS was the stumbling block we hit too. I had several text boxes coded into my side bar, and after a few hours of trial and error I figured out that they were the problem. Once I removed all of the code for the text boxes, the tag list appeared as if by magic. *g*

Good luck!
