WordPress Converting Tags and Categories

Tonight I finished reading Scott McNulty’s book, Building a WordPress Blog People Want to Read. It’s a good book for beginners wanting to learn how to use WordPress. But I think the title is misleading, it doesn’t teach how to write blog content that people want to read.

Something new I learned while reading this book was about the admin functionality to convert categories to tags or tags to categories. Simply go to your Dashboard, go to Tools > Import and select Categories and Tags Converter. The URL for converting categories to tags is /wp-admin/admin.php?import=wp-cat2tag and for converting tags to categories is /wp-admin/admin.php?import=wp-cat2tag&step=3.

I also learned about Steve DeGraeve’s Favicon Generator which seems somewhat useful.
