I’m going to finally take the plunge and trim down my large number of categories in WordPress (many of which you can’t even see because, uh, I haven’t put any content in them) and start moving to tagging. Now that tagging is native in WP 2.3 I really don’t have much of an excuse.

It’ll be a pain to go back and tag some of my older content though. Chances are I won’t actually do all of it, just some important ones.

The trick then is deciding which categories are still important, because I think they’re still valuable. I just was trying to use the category system as a tagging system of sorts and its gotten a bit unwieldy. Time to fix that!
