    Charles, I’ve been a (lurking) listener since the start of The WordPress podcast and love it! Thanks to you and your team!!
    Regarding woopra, PLEASE take a look at the first paragraph on my post http://www.weconverse.com/2008/04/25/weconverse-will-woopra/
    I do not want to blow the whistle, but if you could comment/check in the issue I would appreciate that. I am extremely busy right now and have no time until next week to further investigate the causes myself. Cheers.

    Charles, do you leave a question for Matt here? In any case, here is a question for someone: It is nice to see an admin page for tags in 2.5, but why doesn’t it show the tag id’s for each tag, and why were the category id’s taken away in the category’s admin page? I have just recently started hand writing some of my sidebar category lists upon learning how to use the template tag “wp_list_categories()” to show only some of my categories in one list in the sidebar, and another list of different categories on another page or in another location on the sidebar. This is only possible if you know what the category id’s are. The same thing is possible using the “wp_tag_cloud” template tag. I was going into my “MyphpAdmin” databases to find this, and had hoped those tag id’s would show up in the new WP 2.5, but, alas, no. Is this not a step backward, at least in this area?
    Regards.

    @Wayne

    The way tags work in the WordPress library, is that you reference them by the name, not by the id. Therefore you don’t need to know ids of the tags. However, this doesn’t apply to categories (in every instance), so it would be nice to know the IDs of them. I’ve heard there is a plugin, I just don’t know where it is.

    @Jacob
    Within the template tag “wp_tag_cloud()” there is an “include” and “exclude” paramater, either of which (but not both at the same time) can be used to display a “partial” tag cloud. Both parameters are driven by the tags’ IDs. The codex on it is at http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_tag_cloud
