Categories vs tags for WordPress
Saturday, January 19th, 2008After 1 month since the launch of mobile.islikethat.com, I have been creating many blog posts. I thought I did a good job in carefully placing the post into categories and tags. Well, I was wrong. I have not been creating categories and tags properly related to the way i would like to organize my content.
The idea of categories is a more hierarchy way to store your post. I would be using categories as the main sections of my site. The categories will contain not more than 10. This will allow my blog contents to be more focus on the topics
For tagging, it is the in thing for blog site. So we tag a post with a related word(s) that best describe this particular post. I prefer to use the tag as the sub section of my site. So for each category, I have many tags. And each post can have more then 1 tag.
Oh. As of now, WordPress does not provide by default a page in the admin to manage your tags. So visit here to download the Simple Tags plugin.
