New DylanGreene.com Feature: Categories

New feature: Categories.
The bottom of every blog entry has the category or categories. Click on the link to see all blog entries in that category.
When you click on a blog entry after the comments is the "Related Entries" section with the list of blog entries that have the same categories.
Let me know if this good or it needs some tweaks. I haven't updating the caching code so the category pages might seem to load a little slower than the rest and the blog entries might not show the categories yet, but the system should work fine.

Oops, already noticed I forgot to make a function to list the categories for the sidebar. Well, you always have to leave *something* in for version 2!

An interesting implementation of blog categories and one I hadn't considered before. I'm currently developing a blog application and decided to include categories and sub-categories, just to add some structure to the blog. But I see the way you're doing it, you're specifying which categories a post is related to when adding a post, am I right? So a post about Microsoft MSSQL might be linked to both the 'Microsoft' and 'SQL' categories, and will be available to view in both. Whereas, with the way I was heading the same post would only be available in sub-category 'SQL' of category 'Microsoft'.
Thanks for the enlightenment of flexible categorising :)

Categories are great! I wanted to review an entry that you posted a while ago but I could not remember when you posted it. I knew the entry would be in your RSS category so I found another entry in the rss category, clicked on the category link and quickly was displayed a list of entries in the RSS category. After that, finding the entry that I wanted was easy!
