This post was published 4 years ago. Therefore, it may well be out of date. Do not reply on the contents of this post being accurate. Now that I’ve gone all ‘social’ and decided to use del.icio.us tagging I thought my blog categories could do with an overhaul. Coincidently, I’ve just updated my WordPress install to 2.3 and now there’s a ‘tag’ field.
A search on the wordpress.org forums throws up some useful information about the differences between tags and categories in WordPress 2.3. I found the explanation from Lorelle on WordPress to be really useful.
The result, I’ve significantly reduced the number of categories I use. Next up, I plan to go through all my posts and tag each one.
