I feel categories have no worth if there's only the 1 blog post set under a category tag, which is the case with at least half of the current categories. My main concern is that there's just simply too many category tags to look appealing on the new website. It'll just come across as a wall of text at the side.

My understanding is that it's general blogging practice to not have so many, and to keep things as broad as possible. Some better examples would be 'Fun', 'Development', 'Apple', 'Release', 'Beta', etc.

So to my real question (assuming no one is willing to go ahead and clean them up) - Would anyone be against me hiding categories on the new website? They'd still exist, but just wouldn't be shown.

I have no objection to the categories disappearing.
