Blogger - Categories?
Every time I think about moving this blog over to Movable Type, the folks over at Blogger add stuff that I like, use, and incorporate... the WYSIWYG editor, individual post pages, well-designed templates (well, only for my reviews page), convenient picture uploading, commenting. I'm not a very demanding blogger, really. I know my PHP and my URL rewrites, but I'm not really at the stage where I need to switch. I don't care that the commenting facility is kind of strange and should really show the previous comments. Okay, I do care, but not that much. But I would like one thing: categories. Please.
A quick search shows I'm not the only one. Oldcola has a workaround, but that's a stopgap.

There's nothing elegant about it but it's working.
I made a del.icio.us account exclusive to categorize my blog posts.
When I make a post, I put a link in to the appropriate del.icio.us tags. Then I view the specfic post and post it to del.icio.us.
It's a multi-step process and kludges together two tools without any automation and I forget to do it and swear and then edit the post and add it in.
But it doesn't look bad on the page and I get what I want -- a way to sort through my post by tags.
Once I collect a few more, I'll probably post the most used tags on the side bar of my website.
I'm sure if I hosted my own site I could make this happen with cronjobs etc but I don't and so I can't.
Look at what I'm talking about here: http://ext337.blogspot.com
I've found i very easy way to reach that but.
