You respond to the last question. Where was the question? On your blog, keep the conversation there. If you ask me on my blog, I will answer there.

No bouncing back and forth.

There’s a lot to learn about blogging that is rarely covered in the enthusiasm to “must get a blog”. I do my best to help people get the basics and unspoken rules down in my own blog. Check out How NOT to Comment on Comments and Editing Your Blog Comments to help you get started with a few hints and tips. ;-)

As for tags and categories, think of categories as your “table of contents” and the tags as your “index”. If you don’t have enough content for an index page, don’t add tags. If you do, then add a tagging feature.

Either way, your post will be found by Technorati because WordPress sets categories as tags. You’re covered both ways.

I am still struggling with the categories versus tags (even after reading your nice post), it seems so hard to differentiate sometimes.

So what will I do, what will I change? I think I will have to take a look at my keywords/categories/tags and sort them out. Try to make a consistent system: the related posts plugin for example sometimes pops out fifteen related posts some of which don’t seem relevant to me, but it is the way I tagged them.

And write more often, the more often you write, the more often Google and Technorati love you :)
