Categorically Speaking

I went and added labels to some of the oldest posts on this blog. I'd forgotten how those posts were more serious and longer than what I generally post here now, but that was before I had the other blogs for politics and books and comics. I'm sure I've caused some consternation for those of you reading via feedreaders. At least, I think reposting occurs. I'm not sure. So, if that does happen, I'm sorry.

However, I want to keep going, but it's gonna be slow. Blogger keeps popping me back to the main post screen (ie, the most recent ones) after I add one category to a group of posts and I have to go back to do others or even to add a second label to a post. And I've got 1469 posts (well, 1470 with this one), most of which pre-date the categories/labels feature, so there are a lot to do.

Is this causing problems for anyone? Does anyone think I'm nuts for trying to do this? Anyone care to cheer me on?

I'll be hitting my other blogs, too. Oy vey.

Well, That Explains It

So, the Known Issues for Beta Blogger blog had this posted today:

"You can now enter labels for your blog with a classic template. The labels will appear under the post body, and searching for labeled content works the same as for a layouts blog. However, there is no tag for adding all your labels to your sidebar. To use the sidebar labels widget, you'll have to switch to a Layouts template."

So, I'm trying it out now.

ETA: Okay, that worked. Now, do I want to go tag or label over 2 years of posts here? Like I need another project/time waster.
