I liked this one. I've included it in the reference list on an upcoming blog.

I DO get confused on categories vs. tags especially since my blog is basically about many things. Currently, I have about 20 categories and then for the tags I use simple tags and put in the words that I feel apply. Oddly, I always have to add the "category name" as one of the tags though as the plug-in "Related Posts" uses this to determine when articles are similar. For example, if I have a post on golf, then tennis, I put a tag in each called Sports to make them appear under Related Posts. I thought that b/c they were in the same category (sports) that this would suffice, but it doesn't. Or...I should do it another way? Teli,

I like how you explain it using the filing cabinet, which makes a lot of sense. Now I will, hopefully, tag my blog entries a lot better and don't have to worry about double-dipping when it comes to tags and categories.
