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.
