This question is for everybody. I need you all to check something, if you have a minute (shouldn't take much more that that).

If you use categories (channels) on your Weblog II page, would you (please) check your RSS feed? It should have <category>...</category> tags, one for each category/channel you choose for each post. (Look at this site's rss feed for an example.)

If your RSS doesn't have categories, is that intentional? The built-in template, 'Weblog Item RSS READONLY', includes support for the category tag. That's the defautl template for new weblogs, but over the years many of you may have created your own, or started out with something else.

Category tags are a good way to build some flow to your site, because they help services like Technorati index and track your posts, and present it to the right people on their search pages. Apparently Google uses them, too.

Post a question if you need any help setting it up...

Hi Seth, I checked and my template didn't have the part about category tags.

I didn't have the Category tag originally, but have now switched over to using
