Tagging the blog
Anyone looking carefully at my blog (as if!) might have noticed that I’ve used very few tags. I decided very early to tag the commonplace entries, simply because those are clearly in a category by themselves. And I realized yesterday that I used two other tags (software and economics) in the first month, but used them only one time each. This is a brief post to say that I’m going to try adding tags to many of my posts.
I’ve been pondering this move for a while. I’m starting rather slowly, primarily because my experience tagging my reading notes makes it clear to me that I tend to use way too many tags, despite my having read Karl Voit’s excellent guide to the practice. I’ve now re-read his guide, and I’ve added tags to some of my posts. I’ve also deleted the two tags I started with. I have other tags in mind, but I’m holding off on those. I think it’s a decent start — happy to read comments from readers.
