[Developers] Blog properties and ping idea

[Will Moffat]

Hi Shawn,

This looks really interesting. We could make the tags auto-complete
see http://hamstersoup.wordpress.com/2007/07/09/auto-suggest-with-mjt-two-demos/
for ideas.

Of course the other questions is how could we use these tags in
existing blog software?

regards,
--Will
