Trying to fix taxonomy

I am trying to find out how to work with taxonomy in drupal. Could not reall find out how to apply tags, and find content with same tag.
Creating this post I could apply the tag 'soon', so perhaps I can start incorporating tags On the site.
I updated lipari post with the soon tag, but I cannot find any refernce to it or the word tags when reading it.
I will have to dig into the documentation more.

day 10 - now with notifications, sneaky beta

Public beta
With notifications working, see below, I boldly posted a link on facebook. Now let's see if anything happens.

day 9, updating dependencies

not much today, noted that a few moduels needed an update. The link was next to the message, so it was a matter of downloading the tar file, unpacking, making a backup of the old unpacked module directory and moving the new one in place. A refresh of the status page immediately showed that the thing was now up to date. Very need and very robust, I must say I am impressed with drupal till now!

day 8, nicer URLs

Today I got "more telling" URLs enabled. There's a variety of modules for drupal for it, but I think I got the right one - PathAuto, depeding on Token. It can generate automatic URLs based on title (can make the URLs a bit variable which may not be so good, but then users can override it themselves to something they think is a nice permant URL.

day 7, admin tweaks

Today just the little things.

  1. I removed 'drupal' from the URL by changing the rewrite in apache configuration. Since it runs as a virtual domain, I did not need the drupal. This was nicely commented in the mandriva configuratiojn for drupal.
  2. I had a warning about drupal not having http requests. I solved it by adding my hostname to /etc/hosts, as suggested on the drupal forum

day 5 analytics and adsense

Today I added google analytics support to this site. All in all, including signing up, it took less than 5 minutes - OK I was cheating, I already use gmail. I also got my adsense approved, more below.

Analytics

I really look forward to see what analytics can tell me (still dreaming that I will get users on this site of mine).

I have two concerns (that if turning true probably will let me remove analytics support):

day 3, wywsiwyg editor

This is the admins blog, day 3 After Iamdreaming.org test launch.
Today I installed FCK editor. I added <img> to positive list of filtered HTML which is the default format for created content.
