categories

Adding category tags to posts has been a cumbersome process around here. First someone (like, say, me) had to set up this intricate hierarchical array of terms. Then, a blogger had to scroll through this giant list and ctrl-select the terms she wanted. If the terms she wanted weren't there, she either had to go add them (making posting that blog entry she just wrote a giant pain in the ass) or ask someone with admin privileges to do it for her (again, pain down in the sitter.)

Well no more, dear bloggers! As of today, you can just type in the tags you want when you're creating a new blog post. If they don't exist, they'll be added automagically.
