Dear Blogger.com,
I've waited for as long as I can for you to introduce a Categories feature like wordpress.com but I can't wait any longer. My posts in Raw Notes have grown to the extent that I need to be able to categorise the books by genre and format (what can I say? I'm a librarian.)
What more, Wordpress.com has made it so easy to migrate the posts over. I gave it a shot and it was done in minutes without hitches, and RoughNotes.wordpress.com was born.
With the appropriate wordpress template, I can now tell at a glance how many items are in each category (e.g. "Books", "Graphic Novels", "Fiction", "Non-fiction", "Science Fiction"). It's a great way for me to apply some of the library classification skills and knowledge, as well as learn -- through application -- the issues regarding traditional classification and taxonomies Vs the popularity and relevance of "folksonomy".
Another cool thing is that I can create Pages, like this one on the DDC (a primer to non-librarians and a quick-reference for me).
Anyway, Rambling Librarian will still be here (but I tell you, the folks at Wordpress are giving you a run for the money...)
Sincerely,
Rambling Librarian

wordpress.com is great. i know, i have been trying it out too. blogspot offers one advantage though. it's more likely to be picked up by google search.
