In fact, Jiglu allows one to do just that, in relatively easy fashion. I didn't realize until today that the tags ripple through the posts themselves with words underlined. So I'm just beginning to fine-tune this facility. The new "theme" also needs some important adjustment. I'm right at the moment reading my reference books about editing the Stylesheet. I need a flexible width to the main post content. And I want to drop the sidebar on the different pages [already figured out how to do that]. Some of my widgets have stopped working as well, so need to review all of them too. Ah, the tasks of blog maintenance!

Very "file foldery". Neat, clean, and easy to get around. I'm not crazy about the Jiglu tags -- seems like it adds a lot of clutter to your post, with auto-tags on words like "offers" (which is taken out of context -- people aren't reading this post looking for special offers). I wonder if there's a way to "dial it down" a little, because it seems like a useful service if it's not addling links to every line, sometimes two or three times in a sentence?
