Tags (but not the graffiti kind)
As a service to the great work of building a tagged internet, I'm currently engaged in the tedious task of going through all my posts and adding tags to them. Thankfully, I've managed to get it automated, but it still involves a bit of elbow grease.
Anyhow. The idea of tagging is that all of my posts end with a list of keywords that are related to its content. As well as making it easier for the new breed of blog search engines (eg Technorati) to index the posts, it makes it easier for you, dear reader, to navigate the site.
If you read a post and want to see what else I've written on the subject, click the appropriate tag at the bottom of the post. For example, clicking 'Internet' at the bottom of this post takes you to a list of all the posts I've tagged 'Internet'. (This may not be many, as I'm still in the middle of doing the tagging for my older posts.)
If you want to browse, go to http://del.icio.us/elucidblog to see a list of all the tags for Elucid.
No doubt tomorrow Blogger will announce an in-house categories/tagging service and all my work with del.icio.us will be for nothing. That'd be just my luck.
(UPDATE 8.12PM: All tagging now complete, although some errors seem to be occurring on older post pages.)
