This is the coolest Wordpress theme

I never thought that someday this thing will happen. I have been waiting for so long for a system or Wordpress theme that can act or functioning like a content management system. While i was surfing to WP Designer to search for a new theme to replace this blog’s theme, then i went to the premium wordpress section at WP Designer and then i found WP Remix!

I don’t know what to say, it’s not my intention to write a review about the theme here, i just write this post to tell you that this theme is so cool! For me it’s the coolest Wordpress theme i ever met! I hope one day I will afford to buy this theme and replace my ugly blog’s theme. To the author, R.Bhavesh i want to congratulate you for making such a great theme. It’s not just a theme because for me it’s a solution. Thanks a lot.

The best tag management for Wordpress 2.3

It’s good to have a builtin native tagging in the new Wordpress 2.3. The tagging can import from other famous tag plugin like Ultimate Tag Warrior and Bunny Technorati Tags too. However, the new builtin tagging feature seems not enough. I’m talking in terms of tag management. The builtin feature seems not enough if you have a blog with so many posts and all the previous posts were not tagged yet due to late installation of your tag plugin. Besides, its kind of heart to do other tag management too such as renaming tags.

Luckily there is a solution and i really recommend this plugin. It’s called Simple Tags. HereWithMe from France has released a very nice plugin to manage the tag, including manage the built in tagging feature in the new Wordpress 2.3. Simple Tags features:

AutoCompletion

Simple Tags has an autocompletion script. When you begin to tape a letter or more, a list a tags appears : you have only to choose !

Suggested tags
Simple Tags has a suggestion list tags to save time.
To realize this, it looks between your content and your tag database, and create clickable links to add easily the tags into the article.

Manage Tags
This is what i like the most, Simple Tags can:
* Raname one or many tags
* Merge many tags on one new
* Delete one or many tags
* Add a tag for all tags, or only posts matched by a searching tag.
* Edit slug one or many tags

Content Not Tagged

Simple Tags lists easily all content (page/article) which isn’t tagged inside your WordPress blog.

Mass Edit Tags
Ver useful! Do you have a not yet tagged blog ?
Edit mass tags options is perfect for you : tag 20, 30 or 50 articles with autocompletion in one step !
