Upgrading Tag Functionality

Before today, the extent of my concern with tags involved local post tags via UTW and meta keywords via Autometa. Wanting to dive deeper into tagging, I added metadata Technorati tag links as icons appearing after each local tag link, generally located within post meta information. Adding the icon links is easy. Go to the UTW Options panel and in the “Global Formatting Settings” section, select the Technorati Tag. Then simply add the following (or something similar) to your index.php WP loop:

<?php UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost("iconlist") ?>

More display options include:

<?php UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost("commalist") ?>
<?php UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost("technoraticommalist") ?>
<?php UTW_ShowRelatedTagsForCurrentTagSet("commalist") ?>

More fine-grained control of macOS screen brightness: hold down Option + Shift before pressing either of the brightness keys. You get 64 increments instead of the usual 16.
