Every time I put up a new blog post, I’m faced with a tough decision.

I don’t know what category to use. Should I make a new one? Is there one already created that would fit this post? The one thing I do know is that I spend entirely too much time thinking about it. Categories are great if you have several broad topics to post about but for me, I’m posting about a lot of random little things. They can be anything from web development to a review of my newest toothbrush. I think categories are just too confusing.

Lucky for me there is another alternative: Tags. Now I can just quickly post whatever I want, add a few keywords and not worry about it cluttering up the site. I’ve taken all of the current articles and moved them to a “General” category and will just use tags as the main taxonomy for theKiesch.

This will also work better for my new theme which I’ve started working on. I’m pretty excited about it cause it’s gonna rock your face off!
