Hello Everyone,
I have had a lot of experience building wordpress sites like this one. Would anyone be opposed to me adding a tag cloud as an additional page. This would allow us to create an easy way for us to review the course content based on tags, since both comments and posts can be tagged. The user can choose where he/she thinks its better to post. However, everyone and the instructors are able to see it in one location. This could also help us build the venture lexicon when posting information that could be useful as resources later on. This also solves the confusion around where to post.
I could easily add the tags as they are in the categories. And people could feel free to add there topics as well ie: social media, 3d printing etc…
Let me know your thoughts,
Shaun
Love the idea. Thanks
Great idea. Go for it Shaun!.

Hi David P, I have tried to add the tag cloud and get into the WordPress cms but it is limited in functionality (Probably for good reason because people with no experience should not have this access). I forgot that I did not have administrative access because I am usually the person building the WordPress site. Is there a way to get administrative access to help add design and functionality that is requested by our classmates? If not, I understand, but I am not able to make the changes needed. Alternatively, I can send you or David V a video that explains how to do this.
Let me know your thoughts,
Shaun
Hi Shaun –
Yes, administrative access can be arranged. Can you email me a brief spec and/or screenshot of what you would intend to change, just so that I can pass it by the official technology support people first (don’t want a ‘too many cooks in the kitchen’ situation).

Looks like my colleague, David Vogt has answered this with more detail. Yes, it would need admin access to add a widget.
Sorry for delayed response, I was traveling today between Toronto and St. Catharines, Ontario.
