WordPress has introduced native tagging support with it’s latest version, but it does not give you, the WordPress Administrator, a lot of tagging support.

So when you write a post then realize that you can’t remember what tags you have used before, you end up opening your blog’s homepage to figure out what tags to use, then copy and paste into the tags area of your WordPress Write Screen. Or you will just guess and hope you didn’t use uppercase in your tag, when you should have used lowercase, or spelled the tag incorrectly!

Do you want an easier way to add tags to your WordPress posts?

Click Tags provides the basic support we are looking for in our WordPress installs. This plugin adds a simple list of clickable tags for you to select while writing your WordPress posts. All of your tags are listed in alphabetical order. Click Tags seems to work best if you don’t have more than 30 or so tags, and it is easy to add new tags right inside of the Click Tags area.

If you are struggling to find support for your WordPress tags, try Click Tags. It might be the perfect addition to add more function to the tagging functionality of WP 2.5!

Evernote is gaining fans all over the blogosphere with its free, feature-filled service that works on various platforms - Windows, Mac, Windows Mobile, online, offline; and is sync-able and searchable!

The coolest feature is Evernote’s handwriting recognition. Just start typing in the search box for whatever word or string of text you are looking for, and watch Evernote find it for you!

Evernote works off of the premise that you will save items that you don’t want to forget or lose into the program. Then Evernote will sync the information across the desktop program and online, to make sure you can access it where ever you are, whenever you need it. Adding tags is easy, as is searching. We all like tagging support because you can add any kind of triggers that help you remember the information or have it available for searching later. (I use tagging support on my blog, too!)

When you are on the go, you can email reminders to your Evernote account, and when you get back to your computer or online, the information’s there. Additional ways to add information to Evernote are to scan and upload documents (great for receipts!), pictures (Evernote is so smart, that it can recognize text in photos!) and dragging and dropping files from your desktop.

Evernote is easy to use, which makes me like it, but it also has the capability to be used over a variety of platforms. I don’t feel limited by my cell phone’s data plan to access Google Notebook when I’m on the go or feel pressure to carry a notebook with me 24-7. I am also able to search my notes and add/remove/modify tags, which is incredibly helpful. The interface is bright and easy to use, and the help documents and community are great.

Have you ever clipped or saved something and then forgotten where you got the information from? Every Evernote clip has the source hyperlinked, if available, for easy viewing at the source.

I have 20 Evernote invites available.

Just reply in the comments with, “I want an Evernote invite!” and I will send one to you!

All invites on a first come-first served basis!

We have all sent print jobs to the printer to only realize - “I shouldn’t have sent that!” But when you right-click on the job and press delete, the job says “Deleting” but never goes away!

The only way I knew of to fix this was to restart my computer. But, that’s a huge pain when I have four or five programs open and working online, too!

Follow the directions below to manually force delete print jobs. You won’t have to reboot your computer afterwards, either!

1. Browse to Start -> Run… and type in “NET STOP SPOOLER” - this will stop the print spooler service. (In Vista, you can just type this in the Search box; and when testing, the next two steps were unnecessary; however, try them anyway!)
2. Browse to your windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ folder
3. You should see files there ending in .SPL and .SHD created around the time you tried to print - delete these files.
4. Browse to Start -> Run… and type in “NET START SPOOLER” (this will restart the print spooler service)
5. Double click the printer icon in the lower-right corner of your taskbar to examine your print job queue and browse to View -> Refresh.
