Tags are great. I’m updating my website to be completely based on tags, rather than categories. Please pardon the dust. kthxbi.

Update - July 16, 2006 @ 8:57am: I’ve been workin’ on the tag thing a lot this morning. I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t completely get rid of my categories because I don’t wanna screw up my permalinks in the search engines. Instead, from now on, I’ll just use one category for new posts (Posts) in conjunction with tags to specify where those posts belong.

The plugin I’m using for tags is Christine Davis’ Ultimate Tag Warrior. While I can’t get it to generate pretty URLs (for example, I want deanish.com/tag/site-updates but I can only get deanish.com/index.php?tag=site-updates to work - I’ve tried JBL’s as well as Nathan Dove’s hacks to no avail) it’s an extremely hawesome plugin in that it can generate a tag cloud, as you can see in the upper-right corner of the site, which will now be used as chief navigator. With any luck, Nathan will be able to help me get the pretty URLs figured out and all with be right with the world.
