Tags vs Categories

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

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:

 

 

 

APOD — Astronomy Picture of the Day

I love astronomy. Check out the Astronomy Picture of the Day. Another favorite of mine is NASA’s Image of the Day. Pictures about astronomy seems to make great computer wallpaper as I must have over 200 in my pictures folder
