Argh!

Frustrated!

I don't understand why "view by tag" is limited to the first one hundred items, without any way that I've found to select a certain time period or whathaveyou. I don't want to have to create additional subcategories that don't feel natural to me.

Also, a way of searching the intersection of two tags would be nice.

Anyone who pays more attention heard anything about where they're planning on going with the tags? Think these issues will likely resolve in the future?

I hadn't known that it was limited, but that's likely due to not having gone back far enough with my tagging.

Since tags have come out, I've whinged that to search two tags, so that you could see all the posts which had both tags for, like say 'depression' and 'cunt'. That seemed like an intuitive feature to have added initially, and I'm kind of confused about it's omission. When I asked someone about it, I was told there were plans to implement it sometime in the future, after more pressing stuff is handled. :/

I add a year to my tags. So I've got Brilliant Ideas 03, Brilliant Ideas 04, etc.

What bugs me is that you can't do an export by tag. I'd really like to be able to export all my entries that fit under one tag into one file for editing and re-use later. Heck, I'd just like to be able to do that so I could filter out the crap I don't want to read.

Why it's almost annoying enough to make a person want to learn enough programming to make such a thing themself... almost. heh.

That would actually be quite easy to do...

I keep thinking I should... "Is there an echo in here?" :)

Almost anything is if you know how. However, I don't. heh.

*nod* I was hoping that might be the case; it at least means that I don't need to come up with a permanently different framework for how I want to organize.

*nod* That's what I don't want to have to do. Especially since some of my more frequent tags are over 100 within 3 months of tagging, so I'd have to do it by month or by quarter, instead.

*chuckle* I think maybe so...

Wow, I don't have anywhere near that kind of output that I want to save.

I wish I did though. That's impressive!

When they first started the tagging stuff, I initially just wanted two tags one for the stuff that was entertainment and the other for personal stuff... yeah that didn't work so well.
