Tidying Up the Place (Pt. 2)
THE TAGS MAKE SENSE NOW.
Here's what I did:
- Export the whole blog as .csv so I could have all post titles (I remember what I wrote about, duh) and tags on two columns;
- Read all tags and take notes which ones are duplicated (e.g. "videogames", "videogame" and "games") and which are used in only one post;
- Read all titles and find a short amount of tags that could fit each, noting down each new tag as it appears. Consider merging different tags if they're rarely used and can be replaced by a more general one (this is why "art and crafts" was born instead of creating "design", "drawing", "art", "crafts"...);
- Find overlooked patterns in previous posts and consider if a new tag could help (e.g. "pics" for the few posts with pictures, "food" for every post that seems to talk about something else but ultimately spawned from food and cooking)
- Now that the complete tag list is there, review the old tags and replace them with the new ones.
I'm very happy with the results. I also tweaked the CSS a bit to make everything on here a tad more readable, but that's a Sisyphus's Ordeal I guess so I won't talk too much about line-height numbers.
