They want fresh content, what’s on top is the latest. Tags won’t necessarily make someone want to read an article from 6 months ago. It’s like reading yesterday’s newspaper. What do you think? # Tom Johnson Says: May 1st, 2007 at 9:55 pm edit I agree that the most read posts are on the home page, and that tags themselves aren’t enticing enough to motivate users into your archives. However, when you add a Related Posts section at the end of an entry, which shows the full titles of the related posts, it is often enough to get the users past the home page (at least in my opinion). Wordpress’s new tagging probably won’t included a Related Entries section, but a plugin will surely appear that builds off of the tag functionility. # Todd Says: May 2nd, 2007 at 12:42 pm edit I wonder if you are right. I guess we’ll find out when someone builds the related topics plug-in! By the way, here is an interesting podcast from SXSW about how people use tags. # Alistair Christie Says: May 3rd, 2007 at 8:50 am edit I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this podcast. I’m a regular listener and I enjoy the regular interviews etc. but this reflective and personal chat was great to listen to as I walked the dog on a beautiful sunny afternoon here in Edinburgh, UK. It’s brave of you to open up and let complete strangers into your life a little, but it makes for a much more interesting podcast. So keep up the excellent work. Maybe sometime I’ll get back to podcasting about tech writing myself, but for now I’m just enjoying being a listener. All the best Alistair # Tom Johnson Says: May 3rd, 2007 at 10:55 pm edit Alistair, it was great to hear from you again. I wondered what happened to you. Thanks for the feedback on the podcast. You should a podcast while walking the dog sometime! (Then it would be a dog-cast?) I remember that you switched to Flare a long time ago. Do you still like it? Do you have a lot of interesting thoughts about it, now that you’ve used it for so long? Pasting comments from a duplicate post:

Even then, just the act of talking/thinking about things other than driving has effects like drink driving, so whether it's a carcast (!) or talking on a cell, the results may be the same. I guess it's just another thing to worry about when driving, huh? Which is banned and has a hefty fine where I live, unless it’s a ‘hands free’ one.

But when it comes down to it, it's similar to talking on your cell phone. Not much road rage in this podcast, but I do agree carcasting can be a safety hazard.

Driving + recording a podcast = disaster waiting to happen! I haven't listened to it yet, but do we get the 'road rage' expletives too, or did you edit them out? ;-) Hmmm… Driving + recording a podcast = disaster waiting to happen!
