Categorization on this blog

I am currently a bit dissatisfied at the categorization on this blog. I would like some feedback on this one from readers, since I haven't used multiple categories tagged to single entries. Sometimes I also feel that I need to categorize based on the type of post (long or short essay or article) as well as the subject of the post.

Maybe I need a different blog to put my Linux stuff in, since I seem to have quite a large subset of topics to discuss under Linux including technical and non-technical issues. What do you think?

  1. I reckon you should keep it unified. But that's just me. Maybe just tag posts so we know what they are about.

  2. How do I "tag" posts? Is this something to do with Technorati or something?

  3. How about an "articles" category, further sub-categorised as "Linux", "Cricket", "Tech" etc? You can also, under WordPress, use multiple categories for a post: so, "Articles, Tech, Humour" and so on.

  4. Ray, that was what I considered earlier. The problem of course is that, if I use a broad-based category, I'll need two levels of subcategories. That'll make it a bit messier. For example, under Linux I already have sub-categories...I also like the idea of multiple categories for a post, but I think it must be used judiciously. I'll have to go back and re-categorize all my posts in that case...

  5. I'm planning to add three generic categories, namely, "Opinions""HowTos""Reviews"to tag my posts apart from the subject categories. This will be an additional tag to most posts.Can anybody think of any more "generic" tags like this? Or suggest anything different?
