Spring – er, summer cleaning
When I started this blog, I was quite excited to get some thoughts, news events and tips written down in one place. While I’ll always view my blog as a work in progress, I know there are a number of things I can do to make the site more user-friendly (and let’s face it, acmaurer-friendly too).
One of those things is the use of categories and tags. Brent Payne once explained it to me, but I think I was too excited about starting my own blog to really listen. Well, now I think it’d be a great weekend project – I just need to get my ducks in a row.
I read the post “Categories versus tags – What’s the difference and which one?” There’s some great info in that post, and now I want to hold myself accountable to it. I want to use each for its own purpose – exactly like they were intended.
In summation:
Tags: Short, known keywords that describe the post.
Categories: Are more like subjects you chat about. They can be my own terms – not something specific and uniform.
Any other suggestions?
