At least, I think I understand. I HOPE I understand.Say I'm going to blog about certain products (which is true, and led me to the subject of custom taxonomies). Let's take cars for example. Then an example of a custom, hierarchic taxonomy would be to create a 'body type' taxonomy, with tags like 'convertible', 'sedan', 'hatchback' and 'coupe'. Is that right? But then, your bit about making sure the URL rewrites work, confuses me again. Would that mean that blogURL/bodytype/hatchback would lead to a list of articles about hatchbacks?If that's what it is, I think I'm half way where I want to be. What I would like is to put the products (cars for this example) in the Wordpress database, and set the custom taxonomies for every car, so that I can just select a car when posting about it, and the correct information/tags will show up. But that would require more than just this plugin to handle the custom taxonomies itself, right?

To me, it's amazing that tags and categories have been confused and abused for so long. The wordpress.com help pages, back in 06 if I recall correctly, did little to relieve this confusion. The solution I undertook at the time was to use tags and categories more-or-less interchangeably, but to limit the use to one or the other as much as possible (to reduce duplicate content) and to rename "tags" or "categories" according to the desired taxonomical top level designator :) (like "posts", or "mesothelioma", or something). Kind of goofy, but imagine it's 2006 and you have stakeholders asking "ok, we have categories, what about tags? Don't we need those too?"Hmmm, the old Wikipedia page on folksonomy seems to have a bit to say about hierarchies and tags: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Folksonomy/old Very cool post.

I'm very interested in custom taxonomies but in my tests this plugin didn't work as expected

In options it's all right but:

- If I click on the link for a taxonomy (at the end of the post) I get a "Page not found" message

- seems there is not a feed for custom taxonomies
