on labels

and by the way, to make life a tad easier, i've decided to add labels to my posts. however, i am taking a class this semester on information organization and retrieval, which (contrary to popular belief) does not make categorization easier. after learning all the reality of information organization, i struggle muchly to think of words that might work well as tags. any help would be appreciated. so far, i have "gita", "gandhi", and "pome" :). i then decided to get a little more general and added "excerpts" but it felt a little impersonal, so i think i'll get rid of it now. thoughts you'd like to share? (please don't let this remain a "0 comments" post!)

how about "labels" for this one?
how about multi-labeling? convenient for cross-referencing. e.g., the last post could be both "food" and "gita". multi-labeling seems less problematic than multi-coding when analyzing qualitative data in research.
you should definitely have a nonattachment/detachment label.
will start to suggest more going forward. ;)
