Ben Gamblin Online - Blog: Categorised Blog

Categorised Blog

26 Aug '08, 22:31

Eagle-eyed readers may have noted about 5 categories on the right side of the home page at www.bengamblin.com over the last few weeks. These were the precursors to a new categorising system that I have setup designed.

The categorisation of all blog entries should make those older entries a lot easier to find. It will also be a lot easier to find entries that are related to others, although maybe not directly related so as to be linked within the blog itself.

I hope that over the next few days or weeks I will finish going through each entry adding a category. So far I have done all of this year's entries plus the entries for January 2004 - August 2004. Whilst doing this I have also started adding titles to the older entries that don't have them.

I have this idea in the back of my head that I could add tick boxes to the category headings so that multiple categories can be displayed together. I also want to add the categories to the blog entries themselves (both within the entry and on the main screen).

An ultimate aim would be to get RSS feeds setup for each of the categories. I've very much aware that a lot of my entries are of no interest to most people. However according to my web stats, Linux blog entries seem to be quite popular. To have an RSS feed devoted to this category would give the illusion of a blog devoted to that category, filtering out entries that are of no interest.
