I keep forgetting the categories.

Movable Type allows one to assign categories, even multiple ones, to each entry. a feature that Blogger didn't have, and one I've really wanted. It allows you to organize and arrange entries in an unlimited number of ways. Especially since you can have multiple ones. That makes all of the difference.

Warning, though. I still have to go back through and assign categories to most of the entries I imported into this new setup. Most of them are just labeled general. If you select the general category listing, you'll get a huge file.

But I'll fix that soon. It will take some thought though. Have to define and set up the categories first, and then go through and assign them. It also takes keywords, which is also great, and which also opens up new possibilities.

But keying and categorizing aren't that easy. For instance, where does Bob Hope go? Film, music, entertainment, art, theatre? Lots of choices. And most of all, as the title indicates, you have to remember to assign them on each entry.

I actually forgot to do that for this entry. Ha. :)
