Introducing the tag cloud

I know, it doesn’t sound par­tic­u­larly excit­ing. Oh, a tag cloud. Whoop to doop. I can hardly con­tain my excite­ment. But this is no ordin­ary tag cloud! I never really saw the pur­pose of tag clouds before. If you want to nav­ig­ate this blog prop­erly, use the cat­egor­ies part. How­ever I dis­covered a use for them. I really like they way some blogs, most not­ably Baka-Raptor, turn the tags into a joke of their own, while also not­ably includ­ing these same ridicu­lous tags on many dif­fer­ent posts. With that in mind, I spent the past few days re-tagging every single bloody post for your entertainment.

Note that this tag cloud is not the ideal way to browse this blog. The cat­egor­ies on the side­bar is how you should really be search­ing. If you’re look­ing for a par­tic­u­lar anime, that’s what the anime drop­down menu is for (which I was also updat­ing while doing the tags. It’s still a bit faulty but I’ll fix that up over the next few days). But hey, I figured it would give a few people some laughs.

    Nice. I need to go back in time and do a little retag­ging myself. At the 4-year mark I stole the joke tag idea from a foot­ball blog called Kiss­ing Suzy Kolber. Any­thing before then that looks like a joke tag was only a joke to myself.

      Steal­ing ideas from other blogs. Hur­rah for us~

      A load of those tags aren’t fully updated with each post they were men­tioned in. Some­times it’s because I’d only come up with the tag halfway through re-tagging everything or I’d for­get I came up with the tag. Plus I have over 300 posts, there’s no way I’m going to catch every single time I talked about the Power of Love

    I was won­der­ing why we had a hun­dred and one “ping backs” on Bok­uta­chi. This explains a lot.

    Ah: I had for­got­ten that you were Irish; thanks for remind­ing me, Tag Cloud, haha. That and Chib­italia sucks — though that I can never forget.

      Yeah, sorry about that. I only thought to turn off ping­backs halfway through the mainten­ence. Bok­uta­chi was definately the worse hit.

    I love how the biggest tags are about how Chib­italia sucks, that you’re Irish, and that you like anime aimed for fujioshis (like me).

      I sup­pose Chib­italia was always going to be the biggest (24 posts of bitch­ing? Maybe I really do com­plain about it too much~) but what sur­prised me was 17 posts of End­less Eight. Yikes, I’d for­got­ten what a big deal that was

      I keep men­tion­ing it in passing. Like ‘Why is there no Irish Hetalia char­ac­ter?’. Or ‘I can’t do astro­nomy in Ire­land because it’s always cloudy’. Or ‘We make our head­less fair­ies sexy in Ireland’.

      He was always going to leave one day and when he does leave it’s going to be for Bar­celona. That fact hasn’t changed no mat­ter what the press go on about. Wenger doesn’t want to let him leave and the only way he will leave is if Barca offer a phe­nom­enal amount of money. Some­thing like over 50K. After see­ing Barca’s fin­an­cial dif­fi­culties (some­thing like 300K in debt) and the fact that they’ve already signed David Villa, I have ser­i­ous doubts that they’ll be able to prise him away. Fab­re­gas isn’t demand­ing a trans­fer and Arsene wants to keep him. Next sea­son he might leave, even if we do win some­thing for a bloody change, but I don’t think Barca will be able to rustle up the money for him this season.

      (Foot­ball is my only other hobby. Yup, that’s a tag too)

    Too bad I can’t do this. The lay­out I have on my site isn’t really con­du­cive to a bunch of tag­ging; it would just look ugly as hell.

      There’s no way in hell I could put a tag cloud on the side­bar. This is a plu­gin which allows me to manip­u­late a load of stuff and it works a lot bet­ter as a page by itself
