As a reader, this makes the site a lot easier to use, and you get things like RSS feeds for every category or tag on the site. My vision is to turn all the Finer Things sites into a resource and a community, and not just a linear, throw-away blog. I want them to become searchable directories of tips and useful information, highly organized by tags and categories.

Actually, that's basically my blog post right there. Maybe I should just go ahead and publish this comment as a post. :)
