fooling around with my tags

When you're reading a new blog do you prefer a lot of specific tags, or a few broad ones...?

I'm trying to find the happy medium.

    A few broad ones. I don't like when there are three million tags and each one only links to a couple of posts. I think you have just the right amount as it is, in my humble opinion!

    A few broad ones. Sometimes people get a little too creative with their labeling, and I'm not sure which category something is supposed to be under.

    I'm never quite sure how to tag either. I try to be broad but often end up adding loads of little ones. It's probably about time I had a tidy up too!

    broad ones for sure. Actually yours are great. I've referenced your "groom style" category many a time! BTW, i finally realized that "east side" was the east side of LA, not New York as I had weirdly assumed. Love having a neighborhood wedding blogger, tho I'm a west sider myself.

    i think you're doing a good job with yours. personally i like to read ones with multi tags that include both a general category AND a more specific category. this is one of those 'do as i say' things coz i'm so lazy that i barely have any specific ones. everything fits under 'wedding', hahaha. yeah... not very helpful.

    I've gotta say, I tend to be tag-heavy not only for search purposes (yay, traffic!) but because it allows me to reference just about anything I want at a later date and find it. Since it doesn't really hurt to throw 3-5, or even 10 tags at a post (roundups, for instance), it's not the end of the world, so I tend to maybe have a couple of specifics and then one "wide" tag attached to any given post.
