Announcing BoardBuzz 3.0
Gather 'round, dear readers, to hear the latest techie advance for BoardBuzz. In the blogosphere, categories are defined as subject areas that a blog entry discusses. These categories are more commonly referred to as tags. What is a tag? A tag is a type of metadata used to classify information. It can also improve search results.
You may have noticed our recent addition of categories to BoardBuzz. If not, you can see the entire list on the lefthand navigation. We've even added a function that lets you collapse them (the "open" and "close" links). At the bottom of each entry you'll also notice that the posted line indicates to which category an entry belongs. Clicking on these linked categories will take you to a category page containing entries solely on that topic.
Technorati, a leading blog search engine and index, has made it very easy for bloggers to get their "tagged" blog entries into Technorati's tag index. Adding categories to our weblog entries automates Technorati's ability to index BoardBuzz. Thus, people searching Technorati for weblogs having to do with school boards will find BoardBuzz entries because of our school boards category.
Confused? Trust us. It's all good. And we're not even going to quiz you.
