Categories and Tags
I have been very vigilant in maintaining good categories and tags in organizing my work; my understanding changes about how to do this all the time, hopefully for the better.
Using WordPress to create this website, understanding how these two items are used is something that seems to grow and vary depending on your needs for the moment. I comprehend classifications as being a primary, and the tags can be more free-form and maybe deployed at some later date in organizational. For unforeseen search results like the exploration around things you may have not thought of yet.
