I started a small blog last year which has since grown to over 1,000 nodes. I now realize the folly of not having implemented taxonomy tags from the beginning. I would now like to go back and create tags for each of the nodes so as to organize the site under taxonomy terms for easier browsing.
The only way I can figure out how to do this is to create terms (normal or freetagging) and literally go back through each of the 1000+ nodes and manually add tags to each. Ack! Obviously I would rather not go through this amount of work manually (sounds like it could take days/weeks) and am wondering if there is an easier way?
Note that I am not particular about controlling the number of terms per se, so if there were some way of simply using the site's pre-existing index (minus, of course, words like 'and', 'or' 'but', etc.) to automatically add tags to each node enmasse? Even better would be if I were able to perform this operation once and then manually go through and delete tags that are irrelevant. Then, of course, I could be sure to simply start adding tags to new nodes as I go rather than having to spend weeks working on this.
Any ideas, big or small, would be most appreciated!
