So, in light of my husband's personal and professional axiom, we've once again improved the usability of the blog. In an initial attempt to provide categories to our entries (as per Noor's suggestion), what resulted was an unwieldy long list of entries for each category (and only a few categories at that...). So, until Jude materializes his grand plan for a home server system so we can host MovableType on our own, we have to rely on del.icio.us for the time-being to make categories.
I created an account just for the blog and tagged every single blog-post into categories (we have 330 posts in case anyone's wondering; 331, if you count this). This might actually be better than the categorizing system in Wordpress or MovableType coz you can tag each post with more than one tag. So if you look at the sidebar now, we have a section for Categories, and each tag will take you to the respective del.icio.us page. Jude should be proud- the tags represent the aggregated information disseminated by this blog, a representation of collective group knowledge formation, and the outward manifestation of both our inner cognitive processes- guess who's been proof-reading all her husband's academic papers?... :)

Movable Type 3.3 now has tagging!
... I haven't gotten around to upgrading. :'(
OH. MY. GOD.
Retrofitted tagging? I'm impressed. Either that or you've got more free time over the summer. ;)
I feel really bad for not telling you about this but there is a way to use a third party component to add categories to Blogger - http://www.labelr.com/. I've never tried it so I don't know how well it works.
Oh, and if you do ever decide to go to your own server, use Wordpress. It is so so easy to install (and the UI is nicer).
Heehee- thanks for the tip Noor. I tried going to labelr- they've closed registration. So del.icio.us will have to do for now. Just as well, I only have that much more free time this summer... :)
I didn't see "Meg Ryan" or "Twee Indie Pop" among your tags...
