Should Writing About Writing have tags?
I have resisted tags in the past because of The Reliquary. The Reliquary is where all my non-trivial articles end up. It was always my thought that I wrote about so few topics that adding tags would be kind of inane, but looking at my efforts to keep the Reliquary from being more than a half a dozen HUGE lists, it occurs to me that I could have tags if I wanted.
But tags...? Tags? They seem so banal. I'm from Oakland; I look at tags all day. Do I want more in my blog?
But maybe they'll give me more traffic. Maybe a lack of tags has cost me hundreds...perhaps THOUSANDS of page views. Now is my chance to rectify this.

If you want Chris to say: "Hot damn, I just can't get enough of them tags!" scroll down to the poll on the left (under the Bio) and click YES.
If you want Chris to say: "God as my witness, I'll never have tags again!" scroll down to the poll on the left (under the Bio) and click NO.

Does blogger have categories? If so, I think you should make good use of categories, rather than tags.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. I'm not absolutely sure, but I haven't seen such a thing.
