I've replaced categories with tags, as a means of describing my entries. Clicking on them will show you similarly-tagged posts. Let me know what you think.

I have many posts that are still untagged; when you have to do 2,000 by hand, you try and whittle away at them over time, I guess.

Initial reaction? I find them harder to find, and like the old way better. Is this more ergonomic somehow?

It's a better way of labelling and organizing the entries (it's more descriptive than hierarchical); I agree with you on the layout though.

As far as the "if it ain't broke", I'm always looking to make minor improvements to my site.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
