I just finished categorizing all my entries, back to when I started blogging in 2003. My blog taxonomy is a little unwieldy, perhaps because I was making it up as I went along. Here they are, by category (please note one entry can be in multiple categories):
Technology: 199
Entertainment: 157
Politics: 100
Links: 53
Winston-Salem: 38
Self-Improvement: 32
Tweets: 21
Work: 18
Language: 17
Science: 17
Travel: 14
Writing: 8
ITSM: 6
Religion: 3
Some problems: “Technology” is such a large category as to be useless; and technically everything on here should be able to go under “Entertainment.”
I feel like I need a “re-balancing” algorithm, where if a category is more than N times as big as the average category size then it gets sub-divided or re-assesed. Conversely if a category has fewer than 1/N of the average size maybe it should be re-factored into other categories.
Arguably, to be an effective blog I should have some theme under which most of my posts reside. Oh well.
Filed under “Science” and “Self-Improvement.”
