Weak Link Categories

The "categories" link in the post directory menu of my blog currently functions as a general directory linking largely to content outside of my blog. Other links in the post directory also function in this manner. I assume that these link categories are packaged within the same content management system for all blogs automatically, since most prisoners don't request the inputting of links category options contained within the blogging platform.

I've sent a letter to BTB (Between The Bars) to request their attention in this matter, particularly in filtering the categories link to input the new post categories I've defined listing my blog posts by topic. This feature works hand in hand with the direction and these of the WODZ blog by automatically archiving posts and content in an order that you can access by category rather than date alone.

The following topics are the post categories I've sent to BTB with my request to add to categories link :

1) Zines
2) Zine reviews
3) Book reviews
4) Poetry and prose
5) Lyrics
6) Letters
7) Articles
8) Artwork
9) Journal
10) Interviews
11) Contributors
12) Special projects
13) Index

In 2012, a web developer at BTB engaged me in this early project in a very hands on way. One of the things he did was create the "group" blog feature which linked the individual blogs of all of our (PAPCO) writers registered for the site into a collective main blog feed. This sole feature is still part of the categories link on my blog.

I'm no longer able to reach that developer and no direct contact with BTB staff, but I'm hoping, starting with my letter to BTB, is that BTB will continue to engage those of us looking to develop our blogs.

Anyway, you can check the categories link for the new topics list/post categories. Send me a reply if/when these new categories appear. I can then begin posting the new category specific content. Thanx
