I’ve just combed through all my previous posts, and “indexed” them via tags, as opposed to categories.
In case you’re not aware of the distinction, tags are terms that describe various features or phrases in a blog post that you as a reader may want to use as a search phrase. For example, “tags” and “categories” are 2 tags that this post itself will have.
Categories are what used to be used for this, but which were never originally intended as such. They’re supposed to be broad descriptions of content: this post belongs to the Category of “blog,” as does every post in The EMR Show. If I had audio podcasts or videos as part of the blog, there could also be “podcast” and “video” Categories.
It’s a small but significant distinction, and hopefully one that you’ll find helpful in navigating through prior posts. I’ve included a “tag cloud” in the sidebar, which lists the various tag phrases, with the size of the phrase parallelling the number of posts utilizing it.
