All work…

I just realized that my “work” tag is currently out pacing my other tags. It’s interesting but I’ve started to use the tagging as a tool for me to gauge what I’m writing about most and it’s clear I need to change things up a bit more.

I wonder if I should go back and retroactively tag my older posts… That sounds like a job for a Sunday when I’m really bored.

New theme

The last few weeks I have been getting really tired of the default-y theme. Luckily I happened across this theme which I actually liked. Most of the pre-built, freely available themes for WordPress that I can find I’m really not a fan of. I’ve been meaning to build my own, but honestly web design just doesn’t interest me quite as much as it used to. I’m more of a tweaker now. Other things that I’d rather spend my time on, I suppose.

Regardless, I’m pretty happy with how this looks for now. I’ll probably adjust a few things here and there, but I think it’s pretty snappy. Any thoughts?

Edit: Oh, one minor issue. It doesn’t display the tags associated with a post. I’ll be able to fix that pretty quickly later though. Fixed.

Getting away from categories

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!
