Choose your Blogs Categories Carefully

30. Jul, 2008 1 Comment

It seems like since tag clouds are getting more and more popular with Wordpress blogs everyone is getting those mixed up with their categories.

You should choose your blogs categories carefully. Not that I am some self-proclaimed “blogging pro” (haha) but I do know a bit about site functionality and allowing your visitors an easy way to navigate your site.

I don’t know… maybe I shouldn’t jump the gun like that but don’t you agree with me? I mean some blogs are just getting ridiculous with their category list.

Next time you have a minute you should make sure your categories aren’t getting out of hand. I get that you don’t want to be too generic but also don’t get so fine tuned with your categories that it starts to get overwhelming.

So this turned out to be quite the random post/thought but I think this is important to keep in mind with a brand spanking new blog or a blog you have had for years.

More to come…

JR,
I’d love to hear more on this topic. What has worked well or not in this area? What makes the difference? I came originally from a photography design background so I know how much deeper someone will think through a site that is custom desinged and where there is a designer involved. Now there are so many people who are able to make so many chagnes that before you would have had to pay someone $85 an hour to make that you may not be as careful with your site lay out and design. What are your thoughts? When do you know you need to just set up another blog for another niche?
