The transition from Tumblr to WordPress is a transformation from a performance writing blog to an electronic knowledge base and publication, something that will be discussed in the near future.
A key change makes a more systematic and useful implementation of the information established in its original tagging system by converting tags into categories and grouping them. The only information that remained as tags is the author's name, since it would add more than 300 subcategories that would render the category dropdown menus unusable. WordPress allows me to implement the categories in two meaningful ways:
- A dropdown menu in the sidebar, which lists all categories with nested subcategories and the number of works in each category. That is useful information to have at a glance, leading to the exploration of other similar works.
- A menu in the header that presents the categories side by side, revealing a selection of subcategories beneath each one on hover.
