Topics Magically Appearing
Woo hoo! It’s been tough getting meaningful topics to automatically appear across the Bluebloomer website. Yesterday it was a right mess. Who would blog about the topic “00 Pm” or “2 3″? Today, a different a story. I made a minor alteration to the topic selecting formula and wow what a difference! Topics now make sense and are relevant to there parent topics.
I’m now experimenting with the sensitivity of the topic formula. I’m able to adjust how topical phrases need to be. At the moment I think there are too many topics coming up. It’s just trial and error really.
It’s not absolutely perfect, there will need to be some human intervention. For example, it gets confused between, “celebrities” and “celebrations”, or “Tiger Woods” turns up under the “Bush & Forests” section. But generally, its all working well. What a relief.
The next step is getting the hot topic selection formula right. Gonna take a bit of thought.
Topics and stories magically appear on the front page.
