New Feature: ‘Tagging’ (Archives by Subject)

Posted April 23, 2008, 1:35 p.m.

I just introduced a new feature to Off on a Tangent called ‘Tagging’ or, in my personal nomanclature, ‘Archives by Subject’. This is a built-in feature of the WordPress blogging and content management system that I’m using that will hopefully help you to more-quickly find related content. For example, if you click on the ‘Politics’ tag, you’ll find all of my political content (whether it be opinion, reporting, endorsements, or analysis). If you click on the ‘Technology’ tag you’ll find all my technology content (whether it be reporting, analysis, or reviews). And so on.

Some of my older content isn’t tagged yet, so it’s not a ‘complete’ implementation, but it’s getting there. You can see the full list of subjects in the right column of the site.

Scott Bradford has been putting his opinions on his website since 1995—before most people knew what a website was. He has been a professional web developer in the public- and private-sector for over twenty years. He is an independent constitutional conservative who believes in human rights and limited government, and a Catholic Christian whose beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.

When I say ‘follow your heart,’ it’s actually shorthand for ‘follow your heart unless your brain makes a reasonable objection.’

An idealist believes that the short run doesn’t count. A cynic believes the long run doesn’t matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run.
