James Malone commented on BEAM-776:
-----------------------------------
Good point. I propose a two-step solution here.
1. I can rename all of the categories in posts to blog to immediately clean
things up
2. We can re-do how blog templating works so categories are useful (and not in
the URL) and also add support for tags. Something similar to this
(http://www.minddust.com/post/alternative-tags-and-categories-on-github-pages/)
With #1 also will add redirects to prevent breaking links. WDYT?
> Use 'categories' better on the blog

> The enticingly named 'categories' field in the blog headers seems completely
> useless. As far as I can tell, all it does it show up in the URL in wonky
> ways without giving search capabilities or useful grouping. We should figure
> out if there's something better to do here.
> Example url wonkiness caused by seemingly relevant categories:
> http://.../beam/update/2016/10/11/strata-hadoop-world-and-beam.html
> http://.../beam/release/2016/06/15/first-release.html
> http://.../beam/python/sdk/2016/02/25/python-sdk-now-public.html
> For now, I suggest all new blogs just use the category 'blog'.
