Test tags

I’m thinking about what my policy should be for entries in my tagboard that are obviously tests. It’s understandable that I will get these, since I’m hosting and releasing that tagboard plugin here, and people will want to try it out.

Even though I know the people probably won’t care, I still sometimes feel bad about deleting them, but that’s better than just eventually having a tagboard full of gibberish, I guess.

    Create a seperate tagboard on the tagboard page.

    Good idea, but then I’d have to alter the code to support multiple tagboards per blog, which I don’t think is worth the trouble.

    Well take the tagboard out of your pages, then create a dev mu site and link to it then it doesn’t matter. It’s actually a good thing to do so you can show people what your plugins would do and look like on a default setup. And this way you can inlcude all of your plugins even if you don’t use all of them.

    I’ve already actually done this a while ago (before releasing the plugins), although I don’t want to publicize it quite yet.

    The problem with that in this case is I don’t really think it would cut down much on the tags on my tagboard here, if I still have one, unless maybe I only host the plugins on that alternative site, and I’m not sure I want to do that.

    But don’t you think the test tags are coming form the plugins page rather then your home page? That’s were your links are to.

    Yes, that’s what I’m saying. The plugins page is still a part of this site, and the only way to move the test tag traffic over to the test site would be to only host the plugins there, which I’m not sure I want to do.

    Like I said before, it’s no big deal - just one of those minor annoyances.
