One of the most common questions about writing an effective blog post is the proper use of categories and tags. What exactly are categories and tags? How do tags and categories relate to each other? Categories vs. Tags. Categories are like the aisles in a grocery store and tags are like the ingredients in the various different foods. Tags (ingredients) link together all of your posts (food items) across your categories (aisles). Use existing tags first.

It was fairly intuitive to tag resources based on their topic. But, the more I dived in, learned more, and began to prioritize different things, my tagging scheme shifted throughout the whole process (for example, to start I had twitter also tagged with microblog, but in the end I decided to put it in with socialnetworking). So, I actually went back and re-tagged everything to make it easier for people (you, hopefully) to search for items of interest. I love Delicious.

I like how the jargon of the blogoshere is so poetic and filled with methaphoric language, but excuse me - what is a tag cloud? A tag cloud is a weighted diagram of words used for tags by a particular tagging community where the larger the font indicates more frequent or popular usage. The subtle message is bigger is better and thus influences other people to use that tag.
