The Push for Tagging - or Making Blogs More Complicated

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 10.03.05 // 10:17 AM

Stowe gives Toby Bloomberg a gentle nudge to start tagging. When Toby and I met last week in Atlanta we talked about tagging. One of Toby's concern was that blogging and the tools used to create blogs are becoming too complicated.

To paraphrase (please correct me if I got this wrong Toby): Blogs started out at these easy things to use, but once the web geeks got a hold of things they started to get complicated. Add a feature here and a feature there and it's no longer a simple tool.

I agree with her. All I need to do is look over the list of plugins and hacks I have installed on MovableType. There will always be the simple tools like Blogger but MT is becoming quite the little CMS tool.

Yup Josh...you got it right. Seems if people want to keep up with the sophistication of the technology, we understand how to do it or hire a tech consultant / blog master to help.
