+Apparently I think in almost-alphabetical order, since I just spent a
+while trying to figure out how to reorder the links in the
+"Categories" section of the main page's sidebar.  For those who are
+interested, the ordering is set with the
+
+    : ${CATLINKS_FILTERCMD:=sort}
+
+line in the `weblog_links.sh` plugin.  Having found out that it's just
+alphebetical order, I'm fine with it.  I just assumed it was locking
+in the unorganized timeline of me thinking up tags or something silly
+like that.
+
+In the spirit of tagging, you can turn on category-specific feeds in
+your blog.conf file with
+
+    CATEGORY_FEEDS="1"
+    ATOM_CATFEEDS="1"
+    RSS2_CATFEEDS="1"
+    RSS_CATFEEDS="1"
+
+or some variation on that theme.  Funfunfun.
