More on Tags

You will notice the tag cloud, just below the Flickr pictures in the sidebar. These replace the old categories that I used before. You will also notice that the more entries a tag has, the bigger it is. (Presently they are in order of number of posts, but they may move to alphabetical later on.)
Since few people visit this site regularly, most find it via Google searches and the like, it makes more sense to use a tag system than a traditional category/archive system that I was using. It all makes it easier for people to find what they want. I have kept archive (time) based navigation on, for those who want to use it, but tag browsing may be best for those just casually visiting.
I haven’t given up on categories all together, rather I have just added tags to the posts, and all categories are automatically turned into the tag of the same name.
For all of my tag handling needs I use Ultimate Tag Warrior. To make it work with Canvas, I used Stuart’s UTW Tag Cloud.
