- State "DONE"       from "NEXT"       [2019-09-25 Wed 10:21]
:END:

I started to write articles that I embraced in "[[https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22Blog+Series%3A+%22+site%3AKarl-Voit.at&ia=web][Blog Series]]" such as,
for example, the one [[id:2018-06-05-bad-design-decisions][on bad design decisions]].

A probably obvious choice would have been to introduce [[https://karl-voit.at/tags/][tags]] for each
series which could be used to link and find articles of these series.
I decided not to. On purpose. And this is why.

---------------

In my opinion, a tag such as "designdecisions" does not qualify as a
tag since tags should be general and not related to a series of blog
articles that are finished after a couple of weeks or months.

I try to limit or even reduce the number of tags used on this blog.
The more tags you use, the less use you get out of it. See also [[https://media.ccc.de/v/GLT18_-_321_-_en_-_g_ap147_004_-_201804281550_-_the_advantages_of_file_name_conventions_and_tagging_-_karl_voit][my
recommendations for tagging in this talk]].

So if you want to locate articles from a series, search for or
navigate to the series introduction article where you get a very nice
overview with links to all articles of that series.
