I've been looking for a way to allow users of a site that are allowed to blog to have their own tags. Only their tags would appear on their posts, and clicking them would bring the user to a listing of that author's posts with those tags (nothing by any other author). This is basically what wordpress.com does for users.

It appears the only way to truly and completely do this with a standard install is to create a content type for each user, and a vocab along with it. This obviously is a lot to manage.

So, how can I go about this in a realistic way? I've looked at some modules (private taxonomy, taxonomy redirect) but they don't solve the problem.

I'll give $25 paypal to anyone who can help me get this done (without hacking core).

Thanks for any help.

I can't really because I can't build it. This is how the major blog providers work (wordpress.com, vox.com, etc.).

So, for example:

User 1 blogs about mp3 players and includes the tags "ipod" and "zune".

User 2 blogs about Apple and includes the tags "ipod" and "mac".

A visitor browses the site and comes to User 1's blog. On User 1's mp3 player post she sees the tags "ipod" and "zune", but not "mac" since that was a tag by User 2. When she clicks on the "ipod" tag she is presented with posts that contain the tag "ipod" which were published by User 1 only, User 2's post containing "ipod" is not listed here.

If you go and look at blogs hosted on Wordpress.com you'll see what I mean (they are all subdomains of wordpress.com). While I don't want to offer unique designs like wordpress.com, I don't want visitors (and search engine crawlers) to be able to browse the users blogs as if they were independent.

works for me

if ((arg(0) == 'node') && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$args[0] = arg(1);
$node_id = $args[0];
$node = node_load($node_id);
$user_id = $node->uid;
} else if ((arg(0) == 'blog') && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$args[0] = arg(1);
$user_id = $args[0];
}
$user_load = user_load($array = array('uid' => $user_id));
 $user_id;
  $result = db_query("SELECT COUNT( * ) AS count, t.tid, t.name, t.vid FROM term_node d, term_data t, node n WHERE t.tid = d.tid AND n.nid = d.nid AND n.uid = '$user_id' AND t.vid = 9 GROUP BY t.tid, t.name, t.vid ORDER BY count DESC",$uid,$blog_term_id);
  $tags = tagadelic_build_weighted_tags($result, $steps = 8);
  $tags = tagadelic_sort_tags($tags);
  $output = theme('tagadelic_weighted', $tags);
  print $output;

I am also looking for this functionality. It seems like we ought to just be able to use Views to generate this somehow, but I haven't figured out how to do this yet. Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
