I knew I'd be pushing screen size limits since I'm a fan of the 3 column blog and I wanted to use feeds with big pictures and have fairly large columns mostly to support a tag cloud.

I really could go to two columns since I don't plan any additional advertising other than the peel ads but that would put some of the things I feel important on the bottom of the sidebar.

I'll have to see if I can pull the sidebars in a little closer to eachother but that theme seems to be a real pain in the ass as far as how they get positioned.

My categories have always been the most popular, but then again, I haven't used tags real long. Plus need to seo my tag pages. Found one blog the tag pages didn't even work (heads up, check your tag pages).

Just wondering why tags, not that it's a bad idea, I am no tag expert anyways.

Can see some good tags your missing....

I've been thinking about this for a while now and sort of gave the answer away in an earlier post.

I've always been an apostle for tagging your porn blog. It's a great way to interlink your blog posts and since tags (at least on my blogs) are right below the post someone has been reading, I think it encourages the surfer to continue browsing whatever the perversion is that got him started. A visual cue telling him where he can find more right n front of his nose.

I believe the SE's add more weight to a keyword tag as opposed to just keywords in your post, even if you do "bold" your keywords.

Finally, I think, that if you are really going to have any success using RSS feeds and the duplicate content they represent you have to do some type of value add or at least something different from the pack. Not only is the navigation via tags but each tag page will have an associated RSS feed and I'll set up link trades on the tag pages as well.

Hopefully all those good tags I'm missing will get added in as I add more content. There still are some good feeds I want to add but I figured it was time to develop the theme a bit, test out the tag concept and get myself in a position so I could start working more link trades.
