Ok, so tagging seems to be the “in-thing” these days with websites.

Since Wordpress added tagging, I’ve been eyeing it suspiciously. What does it offer me that my categories don’t?

Honestly, I’m still not sure, but I’ve decided to try and add some tags to my posts none-the-less. The strategy I’m trying to take is to use the tags to further breakdown the main content of my posts beyond the categories. So if I make a post talking about something Linux-y, it’ll go under the general computing category, but then have tags like Linux and Ubuntu.

I’m hoping it makes searching better or something, or at least, the tag cloud should prove an interesting view at how the content I’m posting is skewing over any given time. I’ve gone back and added tags to the last month or so’s worth of posts to get things started. I may go back and further tag older posts, but that’ll depend on how bored I am. I also want to go back and sort out some of the older file handling from my early posts, so while dull, I may roll the two jobs together.

Tagging will probably depend on how I feel to any particular topic though. Site Admin posts, while categorised will probably remain un-tagged, unless I feel there’s something particularly interesting in them.

Mitch Benn has released the video to his re-release of “Happy Birthday War”, a song he originally created for the Now Show. He mentioned in his podcast that its going to be available via iTunes, so I’ll need to check that out tonight.
