In this episode of Blogging for Programmers, I discuss the importance of making sure you (and your readers) can find the content you create after it is no longer the first thing on your site. This requires just a bit of design of the site taxonomy so you organizing your content effectively. I will talk about optimizing for search engines (though I am no expert!), the significance of categories and tags, and the overall structure of a blog to enhance discoverability.

The fact is, if you can’t find your own blogs you wrote when you need them, how is anyone else going to find it either?
