Introducing PlainTags for WordPress

I finally got my upgrade to WordPress straightened out (do yourself a favor and upgrade the Google XML sitemaps and Similar Posts plugins), but I was a little disappointed with the new Tag Support. It’s a big improvement over the old built-in tag support, but I wish they’d have worked toward feature parity with UltimateTagWarrior. To bring back some of the old features like tag management and automated tag generation, try out Christine’s WordPress Things.

One thing that is still missing is the ability to output a plain list of tags. WordPress assumes that if you want tags, you want those tags to be links. I, however, just want plain old text sometimes. So I hacked around in the WordPress code and made my very first (sorry excuse for a) plugin: PlainTags.

I’m hoping not to have to maintain this plugin for very long, as this really ought to be part of the WordPress core code. In fact, there may be a simpler way to do what I want, but if there is, I couldn’t find it. Either way, enjoy this plugin, and let me know if it gives you any problems.

Flash and Video Files

Does anyone know if it’s possible to load a quicktime movie (or other format) into an SWF from a url the way that xml files and variables can be? Just curious.
