tags and weather

[escritoireazul]

I've finally given in to the call of the tags feature, and I am obsessive and in love, which is pretty normal for me. Eventually I will have everything tagged, and I will have a list of tags in the sidebar, but oh, man, why did I hold out for so long? It makes my OCD happy, and I love making all the tags match.

Also, it's strange to see how often I talk about some things. For example, and the most surprising, I mention the weather a lot. Shock.

Actually, speaking of the weather, it rained today in the last hour of work, so I got wet riding home, but at least I didn't have any trouble. My first time with the motorcycle on wet roads, and everything went fine.

My burn continues to be disgusting and painful, but it is healing.

Damn. That's originally why I avoided them, but I heard a rumor lj had done away with that problem, and so I thought I'd give them a chance. Now I'm already addicted.

Luckily I use this along with the memories function, which is still my favorite, but it's very frustrating. I wonder why the limit is 100.

why it is set at 100 and not say 10000, I have no idea. According to the faq, it is still set at 100 though I just checked my work tag and it came up with 109 entries, *shrug* I happen to like tags and I think that a lot of people do, but yeah, it could be a better system.

I do like the tags, a lot, and I know many people use them over memories. Even if lj kept the number low in the beginning just as a beta, once it gained such popularity, I think it would be in their best interest to raise the limit (or remove limits) to keep up with that popularity. I'll keep using them, though, because they are fantastic.

You can, of course, make a tag like "work, part two" once you used up the 100 in "work". Just a suggestion for working within the system.

I happen to have tags like "angry daddy shit", "mom drama", and "societal evil", but that's just me...

I would go for subcategorizing by year or something, 'cause "work" versus "work part two" seems a fairly useless distinction whereas "work: 2005" and "work: 2006" are both useful tags.

Old entries will still have the tag on them, you'll just only be able to ?skip=20 back to 100, so once you've used a tag more than 100 times it starts to become a bit useless as a navigation tool.
