External Tag Links CSModule
A member of my Swedish CS community has been using Wordpress for his blog for a while. Now he's planning to move to Community Server. One of the things he used with Wordpress was a control that let him add kind of external tag links to the bottom of his posts. He wondered if I knew of any such control for CS.
I'd seen somewhere that Dave Burke had done something similar for Technocrati tags, but couldn't find any information on it. And searching the cs.org didn't bring me anything else either. So, a great opportunity to develop a new CSModule I thought. 
So how does it work? You just add an ExternalTagLinks Text Part to your blog post, and to that a comma separated list of tags that you want to link to on the external site (i.e. Technocrati but configurable via communityserver.config).
After posting it, the post would look like:
Of course the prefix text 'Other blogs about' is also configurable through the communityserver.config. 
The control is downloadable from my downloads area.
