Cat2Tag – the new champion

Some changes in the. I put in the awesome “Cat2Tag” plugin for WordPress online and ripped out the one I had been using. Why? The old one was nice but didn’t integrate into the mainline WordPress code as well as I liked. Cat2Tag kicks ass in a few ways…

  • By repurposing the categories system that is built in for tags no changes to the way WP “thinks” of a post have been made.
  • A wide range of plugins are available for handling the built in category system, all those are totally usable now.
  • When I migrate away from WordPress (and someday I will) my data structure is still nice and bog standard.
  • The normal category management tools in the admin interface work “for free”
  • Third party posting tools (like Blogjet) work fine.

So there you go for now. Enjoy!
