jekyll-tagging is a Jekyll plugin, to add a tag cloud and per tag pages plus feeds to your Jekyll generated Website.
Install it:
gem install jekyll-tagging
Add the following to your _plugins/ext.rb file:
require 'jekyll/tagging'
And in your _config.yml you have to define your layout used to generate tag pages like:
tag_page_layout: tag_page tag_page_dir: tag
Now you got a new filter called tag_cloud which you can use with the site object as argument in your layout to get a cloud of all your site’s tags. The tags are linked to their related tag page. Furthermore, you got a tags filter which you can feed withe a post or a site object to get a link list of all its tags.
You can optionally define a per tag Atom/RSS feed. In your _config.yml define the following:
tag_feed_layout: tag_feed tag_feed_dir: tag
(tag_page_dir and tag_feed_dir can have the same value.)
