Categories or tags or both?
WordPress 2.3 is out for a few days. As any responsible site administrator, I upgraded my older version right away, making sure plugins work with the new database structure.
But now I’m at a crossroad. In addition to the traditional predefined category structure for posts, the new version introduced support for tagging. This is an unstructured, flexible organization of the posts, so one can assign any number of keywords related to a post.
I never felt that my posts clearly fall in one category or another, and cross-referencing them is weird. So I’m thinking about switching to tags, even for older posts. But should I keep the categories too?
Hmm. What’s your take?
