Add support for tags

Open wrathagom opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Any chance you'd consider adding support for Tags as a front matter and displaying a tag cloud on the feed page or homepage?

Basic Jekyll tags are created and added to my personal blog .

Current features are :

  1. Supports front-matter tag, tags
  2. Tag is shown right under the title on every note
  3. When you click on the tag, it takes you to a single tags page, which lists all notes with `feed: show'.

Autogenerating page-per-tag is complex, and I am still confused if this is the best solution to offer. Give me one more week, and I will decide and will update the upstream.

@wrathagom : Another method of showing tags in Jekyll is by manually creating each tag as a page as a collection, and logically assigning them as tag-pages. Siteleaf does that. The approach is okay, but for someone with too many tags / ever-changing tags, I am not sure if this is the right way. Let me know your opinion.

To be honest, tags are noisy. It won't take long to get things bit messy. I'd prefer index pages with backlinks. It's minimal and elegant and my goto approach.
