For using tags in WordPress, one of the following plugins is recommended:

Installation

1. Download and extract plugin files to a folder locally.

2. Edit paged-comments-config-sample.php to configure and save the file as paged-comments-config.php. If you’re upgrading and you already have a paged-comments-config.php file, you can ignore this step.

3. Upload paged-comments.php (and paged-comments-config.php if it doesn’t already exist) to your plugins folder (wp-content/plugins/).

4. Open the themes folder and find the subfolder corresponding to the WordPress theme you’d like paged comments enabled on (or if your theme isn’t listed, choose the ‘default’ folder). Upload comments-paged.php to the appropriate WordPress theme folder (found in wp-content/themes/).

For example, if you’re using the default WordPress theme, copy /paged-comments-plugin/themes/default/comments-paged.php to /wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/

Note: If you’d like paged comments functioning in all themes, you will have to carry out this step for each theme.

5. Enable the plugin through the WordPress admin interface.
That’s it for WordPress 2 users!

6. WordPress 1.5 users: If you enabled the fancy_url feature in step 2, edit your .htaccess file and enter these lines:
RewriteRule ^(.+/)comment-page-([0-9]+)/?$ $1?cp=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+/)all-comments/?$ $1?cp=all [QSA,L]
at the end of the file beneath the ‘#END WordPress’ marker (this ensures WordPress leaves the rule alone when updating the other rewrite rules).

Structure your blog by using Microformats.


Installation

Copy the files from the archive (the .tgz or .zip) to your Wordpress directory. The files in the archive are in a set of directories that correspond to the Wordpress directories, so the whole archive can be copied directly. Make sure to copy recursively, so all the files get copied.

The target directory is the root of your Wordpress install - it should contain a lot of files named wp-xxx.php, and several directories named wp-admin, wp-content, wp-images, and so on.

On Linux, this should be something like

tar -xzf structuredblogging-wp-1.0.tgz

cd structuredblogging-wp-1.0

for f in `find . -type f`; do install -D $f /path/to/wordpress/installation/$f; done

On Windows, you should be able to copy-and-paste out of the windows explorer.



Configuration

Once the files are copied, you should be able to see the plugin in your Wordpress admin screen (although it will be deactivated).

Go to your admin screen (usually /wp-admin/ in a web browser) and click on "Plugins" in the menu.

On the plugins page, you should see a "Structured Blogging" plugin. Click "Activate" on the left to turn it on. That's it!
