Items as a blog module

I'm trying to make a blog function using items.
What I would like to achieve, is a list of items and then a navigation, which shows a list of tags with a counter that relates to the items.

So fx. if I create an item with a header, text and an editable list, then I would like to enter tags into this editable list, and these tags should then be visible as a navigation in frontend, like so:

Items:
Item1 tags: blog1, blog2
Item2 tags: blog1, blog3

Navigation:
Blog1 (2)
Blog2 (1)
Blog3 (1)
Blog4 (0)

Hope this makes sense?
Would it be possible out of the box?

I think you would need to use either Item Publisher with some complex XSLT templates or Data Lists with custom SQL.

Good luck ;-)

Hi Martin

If you want to make it as real navigation items, you should do a navigation provider:
