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.

I just tested the iframes hack as a stable element of the template and this works fine. OK, this is a workaround, but it is a solution ;-)

It would be great if categories started working like comments. Visit the link for a tutorial on how to integrate comments into your Blogger blog using Blogkomm. I did it and it is easy and integrates basically seamlessly giving your users a much nicer commenting experience.

I'm a disciple of Marnie's del.icio.us tagging method, & now that I'm browsing with Firefox I've been able to automate the process a bit with a greasemonkey script that outputs tags valid in both technorati and del.icio.us straight from the blogger compose window. Read more at Freshblog.

I've developed my own workaround, using ASP.Net and XSL, but it's definitely more for the keen programmer than the casual blogger! Anyone interested can read my ASP.Net solution to blogger categories here.
