Re: blog tags (or categories)?

I think Jen is saying we can link from a docs.* page to a blog.* page, such as:

http://blog.webplatform.org/tag/doc-sprints/

Hi Jen.

I think we’re using tags to a certain extent. See http://blog.webplatform.org/tag/doc-sprints/, for example.

I’m sure that there are best practices and applications of tagging that we could do better, though. Are you thinking of creating aggregating pages or something like that? Or am I misunderstanding?

Thanks,

Eliot

I'm thinking it'd be helpful to add tags (or categories) to blog posts, and let WordPress create pages for each of those categories.
• upcoming sprints (w/ info on how to attend)
• sprint round-ups (summary of what happened after the fact)
• Web Platform Wednesdays info
• announcements like hey we finished CSS, we are moving on to JS

That way we can put links on other pages (like the home page) that say things like: learn more about upcoming sprints, and link directly to a list of blog posts that only talk about upcoming sprints.

Thoughts?

WordPress can do this easily.
