From the developer
fmzac's own description of Auto Tag Generator, lightly tidied.
This plugin automatically converts keywords in a post title to tags upon saving. It includes a user-editable list of words you want the plugin to ignore, which by default includes the more obviously-useless words like “I” or “wasn’t.” You can also reset the list back to defaults by deleting/empty the current list.
- Converts keywords in post titles to tags
- Includes user-editable list of words to be ignored
- Ignore list can be reset to default at any time
- Converts on save, not publish.
- Does not convert if there are already tags assigned.
Multi-blog adminstrators take note: this plugin is especially helpful if you’re building a community-based site where tagging is important and your bloggers are not always diligent about tagging.
