    Release 1.0

    DESCRIPTION


    This plugin provides for an easier way to "tag" entres in
    Movable Type.  The keywords field of the entry is used as an
    input field for declaring tags.

    Tags are implemented through MT's categories. They're just
    created and assigned for you.

    REQUIREMENTS

    This plugin is supported on Movable Type 3.16 or later.

    INSTALLATION

    The following files are provided with this distribution:

        plugins/tags/tags.pl
        exttmpl/cms/edit_entry.tmpl

    Upload or copy these files into your Movable Type directory.

    In order to use the updated "edit_entry.tmpl" file, you will
    need to edit your mt.cfg file and specify a "AltTemplatePath"
    setting. It should look like this:

        AltTemplatePath /path/to/mt/exttmpl/

    If you install your alternate templates in some other
    location, then please put the "edit_entry.tmpl" file into
    that directory instead.


    ______________________________________________________________

    UNINSTALLATION

    To remove this plugin, just remove the directories and files
    that were added by the installation process.  Then, rebuild
    your site so that your links published normally.

    TEMPLATE TAGS

    This plugin provides an additional set of template tags for
    listing the tags that are associated with an entry.

    <MTTags>, a container tags for listing all available tags
    for the active blog.

    <MTEntryTags>, a container tag for listing the tags
    for the active entry.


    The following tags can be used within the <MTTags> block,
    or within an entry context:

    <MTTagName>: produces the name of the tag.

    <MTTagDescription>: the tag's description.

    <MTTagArchiveLink>: permalink for the tag (assuming you have
    enabled category archive publishing).

    <MTTagID>: produces the ID of the tag (which is actually the
    ID of the category).

    <MTTagTrackbackLink>: If you have enabled TrackBack for the
    category for the tag, this will provide the link to use for
    sending TrackBack pings.

    <MTTagCount>: provides a count of entries that are associated
    with this tag.


    These tags are closely tied to the use and behavior of MT's
    "Category" template tags.
