Not so many posts in the past few days. I loved having my holiday pretty much away from my computer. And, I’ve been busy behind the scenes on the website.

Before Thanksgiving, I told you I’d be working to clean up my almost 3,000-post, more than three-year-old blog. I’ve been working on converting my HUGE list categories to tags. Hopefully that’ll make the category structure less complex, and allow us here to make searching easier. You’ll be able to use tags to find specific information and we won’t have to make a new category every time we discuss a new topic.

Just remember: Category = broad topic | Tag = specific label

You’ll see a Tag Cloud in the sidebar to the right, right below the ads and above the contributor list. Use that to find tags.

But… things don’t always go without some pain. Almost 800 posts categorized as “North Carolina” didn’t switch over properly to tag format. The North Carolina tag archive is sadly thin.

I’ve also added an blog archives page. The tag cloud is there also.
