I don’t see the point of categories and tags. How am I supposed to define a post?
In all the posts I’ve done on the Wordpress platform, I’ve never ever used a single tag. On Vox, my tags are just set to “mobile” and “post”, because of the way I crosspost things. I’ve never really sorted them out, but I know I should someday, as Vox doesn’t really allow me to organise my posts in any other way. But when Wordpress already has categories, what is the point of having tags as well?
Sadly, I never know what category anything I blog fits into, nor do I know what to name these categories. What I do know is that I hate “Uncategorized” with a passion. At the moment, I’m sticking everything in my “NaBloPoMo” category to save myself from this horror. But how do I categorise what I write? Does a certain paragraph make it fit into my “Nostalgia” category, or does a word make it fit into “Random”?
What I do know is that I need to get better category names.
I think categories and tags are great for some blogs that write about certain themes (technology, for example), but when I just write whatever comes into my head at the time, it’s difficult to organise my blog posts into topics.
