Until now, all posts in this blog have been listed as Uncategorized. So far, all but one post has been about the development of this site. There was a single newsworthy post about the Shelterbox Demonstration at The Snug Cafe.

Today, I’ve created two new categories:

• Bowen Rotary News
• Site Development.

I then edited all all of the existing posts to be in either Site Development (there are 12 in that category) or in Bowen Rotary News.

For the blog’s sidebar, I added a category widget. The user can select a category from the dropdown menu that filters the blog’s list to show only the articles in that category.

This was done today because now, with just over a dozen posts, the job of reviewing and amending all of the existing articles was not too odious. We should be thoughtful about adding categories. Categories become a valuable part of the structure of the site, and should facilitate the experience of the browser (and not be confusing).
