WordPress Tags, maintenance
I have some notes on the wordpress schema; I am trying to tidy up my tag list on my blog, there’s a shed load of tags which only have one entry in the database, there are some spelling mistakes and some inconsistency in the use of spaces and plurals. But I might leave those with only one use on the blog/wiki for the search engines. There are 56 which have become orphans. I have documented the image credit at the bottom of the article.

Red or Blue
A poll, using YOP Poll between Red & Blue
Easy Index
While experimenting with YOP Poll, I came across Easy Index, which looked rather pretty, although it depends on on the featured images chosen. I made a category index to see how it looked.

Polling in WordPress
