The more I think I understand, the less I really do. First, about categories. I’m under the impression that there are 3 places I could go and change the name of a category:

1. Whatever this screen is called – my weblog editor. There’s a place below where I’m typing that allows me to set up new categories and edit old ones. I can change a category name there.
   
2. Using Windows Explorer and navigating into the www folder, I can change the folder name for a category.
3. In the Radio application there are things called “keys.” I think there is a place in there that allows me to change the name of a category.

My question: is there any combination of these changes that will result in the category names I want with all prior posts revised to appear under that category name?

Clarification by example:A category is named myFriends. I want to change the name of the category to ‘Ginny’ and post things that I think Ginny would be interested in there. If the category called weblogs already tags posts that I think Ginny would like, can I change the category name in some way so that all those posts are now in the category called ‘Ginny’ AND if she navigates to the category using a URL address like http://radio.weblogs.com/usernum/categories/ginny. Right now, I know how to change the category name, but she would still have to navigate to http://radio.weblogs.com/usernum/categories/myFriends.

Titles – I guess I need to revisit this to understand why Jon would go to the effort he’s describing here:Rewriting titles to optimize information flow. Recently I spent about an hour reviewing and upgrading the titles of my postings here. Many of the items predated the titling feature, which was added on March 11. I know this because that’s when I wrote Titled items added to Radio! Shortcut hyperlinking of phrases like that makes old content come alive, and is one way I was repaid for my trouble. Another was an immediate doubling of my storyList page which has, for me, replaced the calendar as a compact chronology of items. [Jon’s Radio]

Google IT – I need to revisit this as well. What’s the significance?
