Briefly
- Well, it’s looking like maybe I was right about my musical preferences being too off-the-wall. So far, only three people have offered guesses on my music quiz. Remember, you only need two correct guesses to be entered in the drawing for a $20 Amazon card. The deadline is tonight at midnight PDT, so you still have time to play!
- Last Friday, five minutes after dropping me off at work, Bret was stopped at a light when someone plowed into our car from behind. They struck the car so hard it was knocked into the middle of the intersection. Bret has a bad case of whiplash, and the insurance company says they’ll probably call the car totaled, since the repairs would nearly equal what we owe on it. So we may be getting a new car. Pretty cool, since Bret has just quit smoking! The interior of our Sentra looks and smells like a giant ashtray.
- Fellow WordPress users, do you use tags? If so, what benefit do you get from them?

Jeez, I hope Bret is OK. I hope you guys can get a decent car too.
I haven’t had time to do the music quiz. In fact, this screen has been up most of the afternoon while I tried (to no avail) to get a project finished.

I don’t use tags so I am no help on that. But I am glad Bret is ok and that’s good news that you’ll get a new car out of what could have been a very bad situation.

I’m glad Bret wasn’t too badly hurt! I don’t use tags…hell, I just started using categories this year!

I use ‘em. They work out really well for mini-topics. For instance… let’s say you were writing an article about your morning, and it included what you had for breakfast. You might put that in a category that dealt mostly with random life events, but put a “Breakfast” tag on it. Now, what if you were writing about an interview you had for a job, and it happened to be over breakfast at a local restaurant? Well, obviously your morning events one one day and something specific and important like an interview on another day don’t go in the same category, but you might tag ‘em both with “Breakfast”, and people following those tags will be able to see different aspects of your breakfast time from different events.
I think they work as your Technorati tags, too.
