Should Analog be added to the Technologies

dang74

I am in the process of writing a blog on a vacuum tube project.  I noticed that it doesn't fit into any of the existing Technologies groups.  I originally brought this up in the feed-back forum.  Doug replied by suggesting that Analog should be added to the technology groups.  This could cover designs and blogs that take a more traditional approach... and don't otherwise fit into the other existing groups.

  • After reading through the many comments here the general consensus seems to be having a more general category for things that don't otherwise fit into the existing categories.  Possible names could be: Electronics, Electronics - Other, Everything Else, Other, Outside the Box, Miscellaneous, Uncategorized...

    If you build Miscellaneous they will come. They being all those individuals that struggle with where to put things. Many times I sheepishly ask am I posting this in the right place. Getting it posted is the prime objective so I ignore the baa. I fear the category will become the dumping group for other.

    If it wasn't for search I would have a difficult time finding stuff:(

    I inherited managing a work website once, and misc was a mess, people could have found better categories but they didn't use them : ( And other teams were forever complaining they couldn't find what they wanted on our site, or unearthed ancient content that was wrong. I took the nuclear approach in the end, and wiped out everything that had not been accessed in ages, if it were in Misc, and then managed the movement of the remainder Misc content into better categories.
