Plugin: SLTags 1.2

SLTags is a WordPress plugin that will allow you to easily generate Second Life tags at the bottom of your blog entries. SLTags works also in a WYSIWYG environment.

Usage

The main way of using SLTags for Second Life is to enclose your tags within the [sl] or [slwiki] tags at the end of eash post. Example:

[sls]Second Life, LindenLab, Lindens[/sls]
[slwikis]Second Life, LindenLab, Lindens[/slwikis]

That’s it. Whenever someone views the post either on the web, or via RSS/ATOM, the words you marked would be expanded to Second life tags.

SLTags also allow you to tag words within your post. To tag a word/phrase, enclose it within [sl] (note that this does not have an “s” on the end). Words marked this way will appear in the list of tags at the bottom of the post. You can also combine these methods.

EXAMPLE:

Here is how you would write a post using both [sl] (individual words) and [sls] or [slwiki] and [slwikis] (multiple tags on a single line):

This post demonstrates how SLTags work. All the words that are enclosed withing 'tags' will be added to the bottom list of Second Life tags at the bottom of the post. We can also provide a list of additional words/phrases that we want tagged, like the one below.

[sls]Second Life, LindenLab, Lindens[/sls]

[slwikis]Second Life, LindenLab, Lindens[/slwikis]

Life example can be found here.
