Only problem is that last time I tried it, it did not seem to make a difference between existing blogs and deleted blogs...

Enter words for topics you're interested and if anyone on WordPress posts something on that topic you can see it here.

It's a great way to find new blogs you didn't know existed before (without knowing their address)

I went to tag surfer, I want to see all posts with tag "fun"
when I write "fun" and press add, I see "fun 2" and I am following the posts with tag "fun 2" not "fun"
What is going on?
Another thing, I see a new category called "fun-2" in my category list.
Any idea? Is it a bug?
Thanks

Go to your Dashboard, click on Post. Tick the post you want, then press Quick Edit. This opens a window on the right side and you can quickly add or delete any tags. Press Update. Voila! Hope that helps.

I don't know what is going on - but if I come back after a period (probably in excess of one hour) the changes seem to have taken place.

However, I have had the same posts displayed for about 36 hours now for the tags I currently have in Tag Surfer. I didn't think they were that specialised!

Poor example of tagging = politics
Better example of tagging = politics-Belgium

I have politics in my tag surfer list because I like to read up on that. However, I get more articles about the Netherlands politics (which don't interest me at all) than I get Belgium ones (we share the same language).

A negative tag list, would easily solve my issue and throw out most of the Netherlands related articles...

just an idea (and probably not the first one to mention this).

]]> gasstationwithoutpumps on "tag surfer improvements" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tag-surfer-improvements-2#post-502702 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:02:53 +0000 gasstationwithoutpumps 502702@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ I used tag surfer for a while, then gave up on it. Here are some of the problems I encountered:

1) tags were initially populated with tags I used, but after that I was restricted to manual editing of the list. There doesn't seem to be any way to reset the tag list to include tags I've added to my blog recently. Also, if I remove a tag that is currently producing a lot of junk hits, it is difficult to bring it back.

Solution: It would be nice to have the tag surfer list and the "post tags" list be merged, so there is one place to manage tags, saying both which ones are used on the blog and which ones are followed in tag surfer. The tag surfer use could be a checkbox to turn the tag on or off, or a slider to indicate how interested you are in seeing posts with this tag.

2) the relevance checking is very poor. One common tag (like "education") picks up a lot of junk, but omitting that tag then loses some of the posts I'd want tag surfer to find.

Solution: I'd like to see those posts with multiple matching tags moving ahead of those with only one tag, and rare tags (which are more specific) moving ahead of common tags. This is standard practice in search engines, and that is really what tag surfer is.

I have posted several blog entries that have appeared on the global tag surfer; for example, at http://en.wordpress.com/tag/religion/ . However, the last two entries I've posted have not appeared on it. I haven't really done anything different, except for using less tags than before.

Any idea why this is happening? Help would be appreciated :)

Then I tried to convert it to something else, but it stays as "1" and it's driving me nuts!! How do I permenantly delete a catagory or tag to where it will never darken my blogs doorway again?

Any help on this would be soooo appreciated!
