The Big 2009 Category Revolution

[fr]

[en]

There we go! After beating around the bush for literally years, I have decided to scrap my existing category system (80 or so to begin with, 300 or more after WordPress accidentally converted some of my tags to categories somewhere along the line).

All categories have been converted to tags — so the classification is still there. I have created new categories (feedback welcome, let me know if you think something is missing or out-of-place — they’re in the sidebar) and will be moving things into them as I can (ahem).

At the moment, lots of posts are in the “misfits” category. I know there are links to old category pages lying around, so I’ll have to set up redirections to them. But at least when I write a new post, I have clean categories to choose from.

For those, who, inevitably, will ask: tags and categories are not the same.
