Good point -- having both can't hurt, assuming I can figure out how
to get pybloxsom to put a pattern in the <head> part of a story.
Normally it takes the first line as a title, then the rest of the
entry goes in the <body> of the html.

What do you use as the tags meta tag for blog pages that have
multiple entries (everything in a category, or everything for a
week, or the 5 most recent stories)? The union of all the tags
for all the stories shown on the page? (I haven't looked at what
the blogging sites do in this case either.)

I decided to try the tags.py plugin so I could get searches by
tag name, but I'm not having much luck with it.
http://joe.terrarum.net/projects.html says that the one that
works with static rendering is http://t3.dotgnu.info/code/tags.py
So that's the one I'm using, but I've had to fix a couple of
errors it generated while running, and it doesn't write the tag
index files or write the tag strings to the entries, so it looks
like I have a lot more debugging to do before I can use it.

Is anybody here using tags.py successfully with static rendering?
Or is there a better tags plugin to use with static rendering?
