It has actually been online since January, but had some teething  
problems, but I thought it was time to announce a little site I did  
for a friend. It is something a bit different from a blog, but lately  
has merely been hosting his Video Blogs.

Right now, we are running Mental with a homebrew Assets plugin (far  
from finished) and a really hacked together tagging system.

Please take a look and let us know what you think.

Hi Keith,

I haven’t seen the site yet due to the problems you mentioned however  
I’d be  
interested in what level of tag integration you managed to achieve. It’s  
high on my to-do list to getting a tagging extension put together but  
I’ve  
noticed that others have had issues with naming conflicts and such - did  
you  
run into any trouble spots?

Thanks,  
Kevin

And they are upgrading (I hope) my server, so I picked a really  
stupid day to tell you all about it. It should be up within the hour…

I tried to do a tagging extension late last year with the  
acts\_as\_taggable plugin. I think I am one of those people you may  
have heard about with naming conflicts. Basically, you cannot use the  
model name Tag, as it disables the Radius tagging system and you site  
will not render. I got around this by making my own Model, Metatag  
and didn’t use the act\_as\_taggable plugin. I essentially took the  
tagging system from Mephisto and rewrote bits of it for my own uses.  
I think I am going to switch it over to the new :has\_many\_polymorphs  
plugin. The whole thing is not ready for prime time, but it is  
promising.

I hope to have an svn version available soon.
