    Read the whole thread to get to a version that allows you to accomplish the goal without any core changes.

    I thought I would mention that I have fixed the following problems with this tagging hack:

    1) allowing only posts from public blogs into the database

    2) categories with apostrophes or commas in the title are now correctly entered into the database

    I will be releasing updates soon :)

    I must be blind mike, but I can't find it on the page.

    Only file i can find is the core file edits and that's it.

    Where is cat.php and global-cats.php ?

    Hi - just wondering: Was this convo continued on another thread?

    Actually, this method for implementation is kinda out dated, and rather resource intensive on sites that have much depth to them.

    Grab a search for "sitewide tags", and there's a thread about needing a solution or something. It's a much better option, and less intensive. There's another option as well, something about the easy way, but that is rather intensive as well. Although, at some point they are going to be working on that aspect.

    That's what I figured. I reworked those instructions into http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Site_Wide_Categories
