categorize paragraphs

  • Unknown's avatar

    Each paragraph in my blog concerns a different topic for about ten paragraphs per posting. Is there a way to assign a different category to each paragraph so that when a category is selected a collection appears of all entries for that category from different postings?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    No. You can only categorize posts. Search engines would not look at categories on individual posts so it would do no good, and if you clicked on a category, it would show the entire post, not the individual paragraphs.

    Make each into a separate post is all I can suggest.

    just make each paragraph a single post and use only one category/tag for each

    Then copy and paste each individual post into a single ost, or better yet a page. Use like a header 2 or 3 for the title of the posts as links.

    Yes, I could do that but it would defeat the idea of a digest containing a week’s worth of information. The Science-Based Medicine blog at http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/ is the goal. They have a digest of different topics, then along the right side are categories. When you click a categories a separate window opens containing all the material for that category. That’s what I’d like to do. Right now the only approach I can see, and keep the digest format, is create a Google Doc for each category with public access and put the link for it in each edition of the blog. So “software” would be a link to a Google Doc with all the entries about software, which would be updated as new material is acquired.

    On second thought one might create a new WordPress blog for each category and periodically update each one and put a link in the primary log to each subsidiary….! Would that upset WordPress folks or be a misuse of the service?

    Nope. Wouldn’t upset them at all. As long as you don’t duplicate content there is no problem.
