Categories culled, tags en masse!
I’ve finally trimmed back my categories. (Thanks to Rob Miller for the Batch Categories plugin!) For a long, long time I’ve used WordPress categories to mimic tag function. That’s no longer necessary, now that version 2.3 has tags implemented by default.
So now I’ve essentially broken my blog into four categories. Well, three if you don’t count the “ESV Verse of the Day” project that’s fallen into limbo. The first category is “Community,” which is basically a catch-all of posts about family, friends, other blogs, technology, politics, churches, travel and the like. Second is “Theological Musings,” which is (supposed to be) more about God than about man. Third and finally we have “Comics,” where I talk about the comic book industry, my favorite new comics, my employer, certain ruffian-run stores… you know, comics stuff.
This accomplishes a few very helpful things. On the writing end, I now have a much clearer palette. It’s a lot easier to decide what to write about when I’ve limited myself to three (four) choices. On your end—and this may be the most helpful thing about the switch—if you only care about one of the three (four) categories, you can subscribe to that category’s feed and only get the posts you’re interested in!
To make it ultra-easy for you, here are the category feeds:
So maybe my New Year’s resolution ought to be to blog more about comics! Because I’m looking over the post count for each category, and that’s the one what could use the most TLC.
