Removing Redundant Del.icio.us tags
A frequent problem I have with tagging links on del.icio.us is labeling some links singular and others plural. For example, I have a few tags that are marked as resource and other tags marked as resources. In general, I think of these sites as a collection of resources so the plural form of the tag would suit better. I need to combine the tags. I can go to each of the tagged links that have “resource” and change them to “resources”, but this can be time consuming for tags that have many links.
Fortunately, there’s a really easy way to consolidate the tags using del.icio.us rename feature. Login to del.cio.us and go to settings. Under the tags header, click on rename tags. In the old tag field, select the tag you want to change. In the new tags field, enter the plural form of the tag. Now you’re all set.
