I use categories. I don’t have many on any given blog, because since I have so many blogs, they’re fairly “categorized” already.
I use UTW for post tagging. A couple of keywords, and that’s it.
But then, I’m hardly the world’s greatest example of public blogging, so anything I say is probably suspect (especially since I’m probably at least twice as old as most anyone else who posts here regularly….)
[Oh – gravatars. Nope. Don’t use ’em on my own blogs.]

Unless you are 96, you are not twice as old as me. 🙂
Nope. But I’m still older than you are. By a decade or so….
I use both 🙂 If your starting new and you expect you’ll be writing loads, then i’d go for tags. If you want to be organised, clean and brief – categories. Its really your decision.
I don’t know about tags, but as I don’t have many blogs, I do categorise. I might have categories as Personal, Tech Stuff, Politics and Art. Do people really select the “Art” category to read the posts. I hope so – I know I do.
As for Gravatars, I have one, and I’ll use it on my blog once it is launched. There are good reasons for personalizing the web communities and a really good article on the matter can be found here http://www.chrisjdavis.org/2005/03/18/personality/

vkaryl: Talking ages, to be twice my age, you’d have to be 130 🙂
I agree with Usayd; you can use both if you’re so inclined. Or even neither. The point is, it doesn’t have to be a categories vs. tags issue.
(Who cares how old you are?!)

I am just using categories as tags for now and tagging with wanton carelessness. Thank you for that article. I will implement gravatars soon.
Hi Kafkaesqui: No one I guess – just a followup on vkaryl vs Rori earlier in the thread 🙂
