You might have noticed that I’ve started tagging some of my posts with categories. This is a feature I’ve coveted from Typepad and other blogging software for a while. (Not that I’m easily categorizable. I came up with more than 20 possible categories just looking at my list of post titles. I do ramble on.)<\/p>\n
Blogger still doesn’t have a category feature, although they came out with a comment feature within a week of me installing HaloScan and with Blogger Images the very day after I discovered Flickr, so expect something new from them soon. (Four hundred thousand bloggers, but they’re dialed in to me.) In the meanwhile, thanks to FreshBlog<\/a> and Ted Ernst<\/a>, I’ve figured out how to use del.icio.us<\/a> tags to organize some categories. When you click on a category tag at the end of a post, it will bring you to delicious, which sorts the tags by category and lists the posts.<\/p>\n It’s an inelegant workaround, but it does the job. I’ve been using delicious for a while<\/a>. I love the social aspect of the bookmarking – what do other people think is cool. I’ve gone through some of the archives and tagged them, and will pick away at more of them as time permits.<\/p>\n Now, can anyone explain to me how to make conditional expandable post? The ones where you can truncate yourself and have a “click here to read more” link to the full text? (Andrea, no pressure, but I’m thinking of you here.) I tried the Blogger hack but I must have lost something in the translation from the original Spanish.<\/p>\n Speaking of Andrea, she’s got a really cool new project <\/a>going on – a new Webzine called The Whole Mom:<\/a><\/p>\n We believe that mothers have important and interesting things to say about the world outside of the nursery, the kitchen and the playroom; but that too often our voices are marginalized into \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mothers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 publications\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or that, if a mother speaks in another venue, she will frequently mask her status in the interests of supposed objectivity. At TheWholeMom.com we believe that motherhood (of any kind) is central to a woman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s identity, but it is not the whole of her identity\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand it is the intersection of this one life-altering role and the many other roles, pursuits, interests and identities a woman may have that we intend to explore. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Cool, eh?
