My Categories Suck
The categories I’ve set for this blog are non-functional. I have 16 categories, of which maybe 4 are ever exclusive.
Do you look at my categorization of posts? Do you look at the category archives?
Should I create a new set of categories? If so, what? (mmm, Choicepoint! Not.) Should I abandon categories and go to tagging? If so, what Movable Type/MarsEdit add-on should I use?
I never pay attention to categories.
BTW, moxie.seisint.com is intriguing.
I’m experimenting with a hybrid approach.
You can do both with MovableType.
I started to post with tags while still filing to categories. However, I banished my categories to visibility only underneath my archives pages.

I never look at your categories either…
Seems to be a recurring theme. Mine suck, too. And since they suck for the third blog in a row I seem to have a general problem. Oh well.
I try to keep my categories to a minimum, broad based categories like “News” or “technology”. I never look at other bloggers categories.
