"The ideal solution would be to nofollow the tag links, but due to a limitation in WordPress, this isn’t possible in a plugin implementation."Theres plugins that will add the meta nofollow to tag pages.
" Some WordPress SEO modifications are so simple that they just necessitate some tweaking instead of a full-blown plugin. "Right, so you want to add a tweaking plugin to modify simple things. Why does this make sense? All of those can be modified with a fairly low level of PHP skills and if you dont have a low level, its a good learning opportunity. All these plugins are slowing down our sites, leaving gaping security holes a lot of times, and making us lazy in my opinion.
MadHat: Who wants to mess with his WordPress PHP? 1% of the WP users?
@Kensavage: The plugin deals with the tag cloud widget, not the tag pages. WordPress doesnt have any plugin filter hooks for the default widgets as far as I know.@TheMadHat: Plugins are ideal for this sort of thing because it allows you to upgrade WordPress without overwriting your custom code hacks.The point of this plugin is to conglomerate all these tweaks into one place. By themselves, these tweaks may not necessitate a full-blown plugin, but they certainly do when all put together -- just take a look at the source code!Thanks for your comments guys.
@onreact: good point. Ive just been hacked b/c of shoddy plugins (not saying this one is by any means) so I usually would rather mess with the php than install more plugins. @John: It is a handy sounding plugin and good point on the upgrade. I have to keep a running log of all files with custom code and upgrading can be a pain.
