Tag, you’re it!

Hey, I updated WordPress to version 2.3 and now I have real honest-to-goodness tag support. Of course I have 100+ untagged posts too. It should be interesting to see how the tag cloud over there on the right changes over time.

I also went and imported an experimental Blogspot blog I had set up to blather on semi-anonymously about newspaper technical issues, called “Journo-Geek”. As it became really clear that I couldn’t fill one blog with interesting crap let alone two, I decided to nuke “Journo-geek” and incorporate it’s content here. WordPress has a nice import feature that made it pretty simple. If you care about such things, the Mass Media category houses most of those posts.

I’d also been hiding non-flattering posts about my day-job behind a login wall. Technically this was a pain because the WordPress plugin I was using to enable this was dodgy and quite frankly, the idea of hiding commentary clashed with what limited personal mores I may have (Be Open, Be Vocal; Stay Open, Stay Vocal).

So I looked through all the offending posts and edited them for clarity (and perhaps a little dulling of the sharper edges) and opened them back up. I did wind up deleting one or two (seriously, they were stupid) and I decided to keep two posts locked away (marked them “private” in WordPress) due primarily to personal content (but I still wanted a record of them).

What can I say, even the best jobs suck on some days.
