Filtering
The more posts I write in this blog the more I see the need for filtering. Now I think I see better the difference between categories and tags.
Tags
Filtering by tag isn’t really necessary, there are already a lot of them and the number will grow almost without limit over time. Clicking on a tag at the bottom of a post is a sufficient way to see all posts that contain that tag.
Categories
On the other hand, categories are thematic, there are good reason why a visitor would only want to see posts limited to Blogging or Software. In addition the number of categories is likely to remain fairly small. The way a lot of blogs introduce category filtering is to have a list of categories in the left or right margin of the blog. I prefer to put my category selection at the top due to the amount of space taken up by marginal stuff.
