If you need to do heavy re-categorizing or re-tagging your posts, this article will give you the tools and tips to do it with reasonable effort and keep your old backlinks in order while at it.
In this post, how to edit many posts at the same time and define categories and tags for multiple posts:
- What To Do Before Starting the Mass Edit
- What Plugins Should Be Installed to Help the Bulk Edit Process
- How the Bulk Edit Works in WordPress (versions 2.7+)
- How To Handle Massive Amount of Posts and Change Categories and Tags on Them
If you have done or planning a Blogger-WordPress import, you more and less have to do this kind of heavy editing of your posts, as the Blogger / blogspot tags are imported as categories.

Whether you are moving or moved from old blog to self-hosted WordPress or you are planning to re-organize your blog by rethinking the categories and tags you use and need advice and tips on editing large amounts of posts in your WordPress blog in general, read on…

All my old blogspot blogs have been migrated here, into WordPress.org -based self-hosted blog.
All the legacy content is available and redirects are being setup, which should take you to corresponding posts on the new blog.
If you were re-directed to the front page instead of individual page, use the search function on the right, or check the sitemap for the page you were looking for.
If there is any problems, broken links or missing pages, feel free to drop me a line on the contact-page.
For old blogspot readers: update your links, bookmarks and subscribe to the new RSS-feed.
