Tag — you’re it, Jerome!

This morning I corrected the Jerome’s Keywords plugin for WordPress to eliminate the problem with too inclusive tag searches, and I posted it on Chip’s Tips (I’ll take down my version and point to Jerome’s if/when Jerome implements a fix also). Thanks to Johannes for the SQL syntax. BTW, Johannes has a new version of his Jerome’s Keywords Manager plugin (the final destination — where have I heard that before?) that implements a similar fix for his dashboard component.
What does all this mean for Chip’s Quips? It means that if you click the “c” tag in the tag cloud in the sidebar, you will only get posts that are tagged with “c”, not every frickin’ tag that contains a “c”. If you are using the same tag cloud widget on your blog, you’ll want to download this corrected plugin to make it work correctly for you, too.
