@nitinkhanna I understand why you did what you did. My default WordPress post category has always been General even though the initial website (2013) was mostly about technology. I have over 3000 posts under General and over 1000 under photography.

@khurtwilliams That tells me that Iā€™ve made the right decision. I went into the system to change to general and for some reason, it didnā€™t exist! So I created it, so I start from zero today šŸ˜Š

@www.nitinkhanna.com šŸ‘šŸ¾. I donā€™t have a technology category. Perhaps I will add that.

@www.nitinkhanna.com I also like that your responses are flowing to/from your website. IndieWeb FTW.

@nitinkhanna Thatā€™s a good idea. I'd quite like it if the default was not to have a category at all, but that doesn't seem to be possible.

Orā€¦ I was going to say that mine is still set to ā€œUncategorizedā€, which I think is the default, and I don't like, and I wish the default could be to have no category. But it seems that now the default is to have no category. I wonder when that changed.

@devilgate Wait, new installs of WordPress allow for no category at all? Thatā€™s odd and interesting! I would love that. Uncategorized has always irked me as too ugly.

@devilgate categories (and tags) are important if I ever want to get a link to say ā€œall my photography postā€, all my posts about ā€œmacOSā€ etc. This is important when your website gets to 6000+ posts over a 15 year time frame.

@www.nitinkhanna.com Mine is far from a new install, but I just hit ā€œNew Postā€ yesterday, first in MarsEdit then in the WP console, and no category we ticked.
