How do you create tagged pages on a Web site?

I am interested in creating a list of tagged pages, much like Technorati, Flickr, or Wikipedia does.





I know that you use rel="tag" to let search engines know that that particular page is tagged, but I want to know how these tagged pages are actually generated. That is, if you are on a blog or wikipedia, and hover over a link for "cats" that shows the end of the file named "[sitename]/tags/cats," how is that page generated? It isn't HTML, is it? Otherwise it would be "[sitename]/tags/cats.html"?





Thanks for any info. I can't seem to find any sites or books that explain this.

Well, a web address can be a specific file (.html or .jpg etc) or it can be a directory. When its a directory, usually the web server hosting that directory serves up the index.html page in it if there is one. The web server can be configured to serve up a different default page for that directory though.





When you're typing an address into the bar of your browser, say for Google, you don't type out a specific file, you just type www.google.com and ENTER. The Google web server serves you up its default home page from its main directory.
