I’ve got an assistant helping to categorize all of my as of yet uncategorized posts. We’re adding new categories constantly, and considering changing the names of some existing ones. (Scroll down for a list of categories on the right-hand sidebar.) I’ve posted so darned much in the past three-plus years, and while some posts could probably be deleted, others ought to be more properly archived.
At what point do we end up with too many categories? Any categories I’m missing? Is the feminism category too damned big? Do sociopaths need their own category? Should I change the spelling of the masturbation and porn categories to avoid getting too many hits from those only seeking out the latter in order to facilitate engaging in the former?
Oh, I’ve added a modesty category too.
i always figured the ones looking for porn and masturbation would usually spell porn and masturbation wrong. keep them up there, it’s always fun to scroll down and giggle immaturely.
oh, and another thing to note, how come no category for love but porn’s got a modest 23 entries?
Love goes under “relationships”, “sexuality”, “marriage”, and “chinchillas”.
I don’t think you can have too many categories. Since you can assign multiple categories to a post, it’s not an impediment to finding anything. If I can find a very popular post about masturbating sociopathic porn-fiends in the youth ministry who abuse Ratemyprofessors.com by going to either masturbation, sociopaths, porn, youth ministry, ratemyprofessors OR most popular posts (as opposed to a single category “masturbation, sociopaths, porn, youth ministry, ratemyprofessors AND most popular posts”, then it’s not a problem.
Also, theverycold: Only posers fall in love. (a shiny nickel if you know what that’s from.)
You can never have too many categories, you just need to categorize them hierarchically.
