Hello, and thank you for the great plugin.
I have use some tags too often, it seems, so they tend to become irrelevant. For instance, if all posts include tags like "song" or "lyrics", the script will show links to a randomly selected artist in the music category. So, instead of showing the other 10 songs that also have a "clapton" tag, it will show links to articles with "metallica" tag, just because those also have the "song" tag. Which is less relevant than it could be.
Is there a line of code I could add to ignore those tags that are shared by too many articles?
Thank you.

There's no simple way to ignore certain tags.  However, it will match to posts that have the most matching tags first.  So if you have a post with the tags "song, lyrics, clapton" it will match another post with "song, clapton" (2 matching tags) before it matches one with "song, metallica" (1 matching tag).  However, it will consider a post with "song, clapton" and one with "song, lyrics" to be the same since they both have two matching tags.

If you have tags that are on too many posts, I'd suggest getting rid of them.  They're probably not all that useful to your users anyway.

Upset at my slow responses recently? Please read my explanation.
