First application of semantic tags on my website

In an old post I discussed the idea of embedding semantic tags inside posts, to create tailored search engine inside websites. Today, after a long while, I took some time to write my first little application. Basically, it's just two PHP modules. The first reads tags from my posts and updates a database. The second looks for specific tags. In this first application, I wanted to replace the "interesting sites" web page, that is still getting a good number of hits, but it's an oh so outdated concepts. Now, instead of a static page, you get a list of posts decorated with the "Link" semantic tag; of course, the old static page is still reachable.
I didn't use semantic tags before October 21, 2005. However, I'll slowly go back and retrofit some tags in existing posts. Having some real use for them will help :-). Besides, this is just the first step, the next being a better search page for the blog, where you can search (or filter) on semantic tags as well.
