I don&#8217;t trust myself enough to tag things consistently, frankly.&nbsp; So I use categories to group things together for those times I want to review a subject (vs. searching for individual posts).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve added a bunch of new subcategories today for several categories that had grown unwieldingly large.&nbsp; In most cases, these were categories I&#8217;d been pondering for a while, but which I finally got around to building.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve done them as subcategories of the parent categories I&#8217;m trying to break up.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in theory, I should go back through those parent categories and reassign things appropriately.&nbsp; Alas, with over 12,000 entries, that&#8217;s a herculean job that I&#8217;m saving for when I have a week with nothing else to do.&nbsp; Perhaps when retire &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So for the most part these categories are starting off as stubs that will build from this point, with possible backfilling if I reference back to an earlier post.&nbsp; Let&#8217;s see how that works for now; in another 12,000 posts, nobody will remember the difference.<\/p>\n<p>Sub-categories being added:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <strong>Blogging &#8211; Technical <\/strong>(to track posts about MT and technical issues with my blog, vs. other general Blogging subjects)<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Family <\/strong>(broken out from Personal)<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Health &#8211; Science <\/strong>(to distinguish from &#8220;I am down with the grippe&#8221; Health posts)<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Media &#8211; Art <\/strong>(to make various reference to the Tate Modern, etc.)<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Media &#8211; Sports <\/strong>(for the occasional obligatory sports post)<\/li>\n<li> <strong>My Mobile \/ PDA <\/strong>(for stuff having to do with cell phones and PDAs and combos thereof)<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Religion &#8211; Episcopal Church <\/strong>(broken out from the general Religion category)<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Religion &#8211; My Parish <\/strong>(my local church activities)<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Religion &#8211; Me <\/strong>(my&nbsp;own musings on the subject)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And I&#8217;m doing this post as much to note these changes as &#8220;starter&#8221; posts for those new subcategories than as anything I figure anyone would be interested in actually reading.&nbsp; We now resume my regular blather, normally scheduled for this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike all the Cool Kids, I&#8217;ve never gotten down with using Tags for my blog entries.&nbsp;
