27-Jan: A new Borg version: Web 2.0 Tagging!

A new version of Borg is available! Borg is the software which is responsible for this whole site and it’s based on Ruby On Rails. Check this link for further info.

Borg now supports page tagging and clouds. You can:

• Associate tags to any page
• Navigate through tags
• Create and visualize tag clouds

Creating Tags

Creating tags is super-easy. Remember that every page in Borg is just a plain text file. Every page supports metadata, which can be added to the page by simply added “commented” records on top of the file. Commented records are just lines that start with the # character and use a colon to separate the metadata name (or key) from the values.

So if you want to create tags on a page, you only have to add a line like this one on top of the page:

# TAGS: first,second,third

Once tags are created, Borg automatically monitors them and allows you to navigate through them. Just click the ones available on this page to go to all the other pages that share the same tags.

Clouds

Borg automatically collects tags into clouds. Just click this link or the Tags button in the above toolbar to see the cloud generated for this site.
