There have been quite a few instances in the past months where I’ve had to explain the difference between a category and a tag to several people. I thought I’d share my definition and explanation of categories and tags to see if anyone else has a better definition.
Here are my definitions:
1) Tags are metadata (keywords?) for content. They describe the content itself and useful when searching a site.
2) Categories are used for navigation and represent different sections of a site where similar content is grouped. In most cases, categories are the sites navigation. Categories also had a hierarchy to a site. Even the word category can be used to describe categories. They categorize.
Tags: delicious.com, categories, tags, hierarchy, navigation, url schema
I was just looking at the CSS 2.1 spec and I remembered something about floated elements. When you float an element, the element is made a block element. »
The old method of placing anchors on the page, <a name="anchorThis"></a>, should be thrown out the window and forgotten about. Modern day browers can use the id attribute of an element as a reference to jump too. »
