Sorry, unless you are hiring me, I am not able to provide such a service for free. There are no "high quality" blogs that use tags and categories the "right" way as everyone does it right. If you put the words in your tag form on the Post Panel, then that works for you. Just keep thinking the table of contents and index words and you are done. Also see: Tags and Tagging in WordPress, Categories versus Tags – What’s the Difference and Which One?, Putting Some Thought Into Blog Categories and Tags, and Tags and Categories: Are You Uncategorized? Video on WordPress.tv. That's all you need, and more than you need, to help you figure this out.

I am just starting a new site and I am really trying to understand the differences between tags and categories. I really loved your analogy about the index/table of contents because it was concrete and related to print;). I will be honest that about 60% of what I read I do not understand. I have no idea what Technorati is, or pingbacks, or CEO (or whatever that 3 letter acronym is;). I have one favor to ask, but I’m not sure if you’d be able to do it? Could you give a list of really, really high quality example blogs that use tags and categories the right way? Thanks for everything!

I am very new to blogging – about a month – I think I have been using categories as tags. My content is all over the map, as you say. When I write a post I then go to the categories and select the areas I think appropriate to the post. I am slowly learning. Thanks for your ideas.
