Are the really old ones you're referring to Blogger comments or Haloscan?

I guess that is why you need 236 more days.

Why not? I thought he was using your system to do comments; what does it store them in? (database, xml, etc.) I guarantee that you could write a script/program to transition them to wordpress.

you know what's going to suck is all those comments. No way you can get those to transfer.

Just think, every day lost means every comment for that day is lost. FOREVER.

But the longer you wait the more unrealistic your "completion" will be.

Re: Tagging vs. Cat’s at Scattered

nstryker — Sun, 03 Jul 2005 03:01:37 -0000

yeah, i demand completion.

Good point. I still have my gallery up for this reason, even though I moved everything into Flickr and am using that going forward - I don't want to go back and change all my old posts, so I'll just leave the gallery up.

Why don't you start then after a while just break your old img sources. While posting them on flickr. more people would be able to see them on flickr then in the heap of your blog.

the bad thing of moving to flickr is changing all the img src's for the past year +. i've already switched image servers once which is why the first few months images are missing. i'll do it someday though, cuz i definitely see the benefit of flickr.

More then someone would search by category.
I think people would use tags, if done correctly, to navigate a site/blog because they can find exactly what they want; fast. I find myself going to a lot of blogs, and if they tag, snooping around for a little while. If I saw a categories I would just move on.

i guess you wouldn't know the 'real' benefits of tagging if you didn't use delicious or flickr (start to use flickr, I would love to see an archive of your drawings and pics from your blog).

It's mostly for searching (as Dan said) and aggregation in external systems (like Technorati, etc.)

does anybody actually use that crap? do you visit blogs just to read the "tech posts" and only read the tech post page or something? seems kinda silly.
