I was too lazy to go back and look at my tag count:)

My blog is sadly lacking in tags, but I figure that having categories works pretty well (Plus my LT tags more than make up for my lack of blog ones)

I never thought about tagging books I haven’t read. I’ve only done it with those that I have read. I sometimes do get frustrated with tagging, especially when I publish a review without adding the tags. I hate having to go back in and add those. Sometimes it’s just a pain.

I think the tick boxes are in the process of going somewhere but at the moment they don’t do anything, you can’t sort on them etc., they’re too busy updating and debugging more important aspects of the site so I’ve read. I still tick them anyway but I also add them in as tags, much like I add in series information even though that now appears.

I haven’t been very consistent with my tagging, either. I try, but I forget if I’ve used nonfiction or non fiction or non-fiction, etc. I know that my LT could use a good clean-up. But, I really don’t have any trouble finding things when I’m looking for them. I guess the problem would come in when someone else is searching my library by tags.

I have thought about tagging my blog too…but it has remained in the thinking process…no action yet.

I like tags and I am not at all consistent about using them either. When I first starting blogging ‘books’ was one of my tags, which is sort of silly since nearly every post was a book post. Now I am trying to be more specific, so when I am searching for an old post I can find it. Fiction is also my most used tag in LT and I try and break the books up by where the author is from and what sort of book. Of course when I first started my tags weren’t very specific either, so again I’m getting better as I go.

i like seeing people’s variations on tags too- sometimes if i’m having trouble tagging a book it helps me get to what the subject is.

That’s exactly my problem – I’d like to go back and make sure all my tags are uniform and meaningful, but I’d just end up reading the books! So far, I haven’t labeled anything as “read” or “TBR,” but I think that’s a great idea – one more thing to go back and add.

I’ve never used that status option where you can tick currently reading or to be read. I don’t even know what would happen!
