Re-Purposing Blojsom's Technorati Tags Plugin for Gada.Be
« Bye Bye Bunny | Main | Stick Figure Numbers »Gada.Be is another nerdly metasearch service. Read more on their about page.
In any event, I figured since other people were developing plugins for other software packages, I'd go a similar route and re-purpose the data populated by blojsom's Technorati Tags plugin for use with Gada.Be. I should've called that plugin the Keywords plugin since basically all it's doing is adding an edit box to the screens when you add or edit a blog entry to mark an entry with certain keywords. These keywords can be applied to any such service like Technorati, del.icio.us, or in this case, Gada.Be.
And so, the GadaBeTags macro. It slices, it dices, it'll remember your mom's birthday! As you can see, it grabs the keywords and creates the appropriate link to the Gada.Be service. Add that macro to either your global macros page so that you can use the macro across templates (say for your syndication feeds) or add it to an individual template. Then simply use #GadaBeTags($entry) when you're looping over your entries and you're good to go. Change the macro to suit your blog's style or use whatever CSS magic you feel is necessary.
