Tags vs Categories

2008-08-20

Seems I can have both tag and category clouds in WordPress, sweet! I know that tags can be sprinkled anywhere in posts, but what about categories? I see that categories can be hierarchical which tags cannot do by design.

I get a checkbox list of categories when creating a post. I’m putting this post in every category except “Uncategorized”

I have to enter tags manually, separating them with commas. I sure wish it could give me a list of my currently used tags. Perhaps I just haven’t found the list yet…   Ah, it has a type-ahead in the tag textbox for currently used tags, but you have to know the first letter of the tag. Better than nothing.

Ambigrams

2007-12-30
I’d never heard of an ambigram before, but like other word-play like palindromes, I found ambigrams very interesting also. An ambigram is a graphic that spells a word as presented, but also in another direction or orientation.
 
Ambigram.net is an excellent site that has several ambigrams created by the author. The site has gallery pages that have ambigrams of some names including my own. Page 4 has my name, David, that is a Flash program and will rotate when clicked to show the other direction.
 
Here are some other ambigrams of David/Dave:

PEBKAC — a funny acronym

2007-09-13

Having trouble with your computer? Maybe the problem is PEBKAC…

PEBKAC = Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair

I heard Chris Pirillo use this acronym on his video podcast today.
