Sorry LD, it looks like I took you down a blind path.

Tagging in WP 2.3x doesn't support Simple Tags, so that method won't work. It has it's very own system which will import tags that were created prior to the upgrade but doesn't support any of the previous tagging plug-ins. Fuckers!!!

I also seems that the person who wrote the UTW plug-in has gotten tired of chasing the multiple WP upgrades and is no longer developing the plug-in.

So unless you want to edit every post and add your tag list, there is no easy way to do it.

I swear I will never upgrade WP. The thing that I thought made it a powerful script was the large availability of plug-ins, many of which did the same thing a little different so you could customize your functionality. That seems to be gone

Do you know what the last version that UTW supports is?
I'm wondering if he would be better off getting an older version of wp through the archive

The lack of a way to manage tags seems to be an issue in the WP forums. I thought I saw a solution, but I'll have to revisit and see. I put a message at the BA support forum about this issue. Maybe it will at least get them thinking about it.

T-Pat, hope you get better there, man. Not sure why the feeds don't work. I might have missed something you said and screwed something up...not too uncommon thing for me, espcially when it comes to coding and shit.

I had a new fetish blog on my projects list until I installed the WP 2.3x and a copy of BA and found out there's no good way to handle the tagging arrangement I wanted to use. The UTW plugin won't work with the new WP and the same (or very similar) problems using BA's tagging method with WP 2.3x.

Right now I'm waiting to see what the next version of BA looks like. I'm hoping Kaktus builds in a way to add tags there and have them appear correctly in WP 2.3x versions. Also, I'm sure there will be more plugins for the +2.3x versions of WP once developers have had time to, well, develop them.

In the meantime, I have blogs still running on WP 2.0x which are doing just what I want them to do. I like some of the new features in 2.3x but for me it's not ready for production use until BA and some other plugins catch up with how it does things.

The problem is that WP seems to be releasing a "new version" about every six weeks. Or at least an updated version. In my estimation thats way too often, it can't be fully debugged and never really gives the plug-in builders time to catch up.
