So the new version of Wordpress supports tagging, which is cool I guess, but I already have categories. What’s the difference?
I’ve been looking around and can’t really find a definitive answer, so here is how I will use them for the time being. I will use categories for broad organization, then narrow it down with tags. I think.
Sure tags help with Technorati searches and whatnot, but I still don’t understand it. If anyone else does, please ’splain for me.
By the way, you are reading this and I’m at PodCamp SoCal. Full report to follow later in the day or tomorrow. Check back!

Besides, it's only your first comment (per IP address if you are commenting from work and home) that the robot warriors have to approve. After that it should be clear saling! If not, contact db and I'm sure he'll hook you up.
Finally, for those of you in the know, Markdown is available as it a very small set of HTML tags. If you are scratching your head, don't worry, it's just geek stuff. You can still comment!
Thanks for stopping by!

Ok, I’m glad I’m not the only one who can’t figure out the difference…
When I was at WordCamp last year they talked about tagging and Ultimate Tag Warrior as if they were the greatest thing since sliced bread…
But I’m like you, with categories already what’s the big deal about tags?
