Labels on this Site
I have labeled this post 101.Read.Me in hopes that it puts it at the top of the list of labels and helps new people find their way around the site. At this time, I assume it will be the only post with that label but it's possible I will eventually feel the need to use that label more than once.
At this time, I am still in the process of moving posts from other sites to this site, so things are in flux and a bit messy.
Many of the posts labeled Homelessness have been moved from a site called Street Life Solutions that I expect to shut down once everything has been moved here.
The two posts currently labeled South.of.the.Border are new content but that label comes from a site called Butterfly Economy and I hope to soon move related posts from there to here. I recently looked at potential alternatives for that phrase which is very US-Centric and is intended to cover Central and South America.
I chose to keep that phrase in part because there's no standard definition of which countries belong to Latin America, so Latin America doesn't actually serve as shorthand for Central and South America. It potentially is perceived as excluding countries in that geographic area which don't speak either Spanish or Portuguese.
I added Ring.of.Fire to one existing post because I'm planning on adding content I wish to tag as either Asia (the area) or Asian (cultural type) and found myself wrestling with the fact that the piece in question is about tsunami mitigation which is pertinent for many Asian countries but it's not actually about Asia. It's written about a town in Washington State.
So I decided to make that distinction because regardless of culture, countries along the ring of fire will be interested in posts about tsunami mitigation and earthquake resistant infrastructure but not all parts of Asia will care about that.
Wherever you are, you should probably check out the tags Development.Recipe and Very.Basic.Water.Infrastructure, the second of which I envisioned initially as for Third World Countries but have since concluded will be pertinent to many rural areas of more developed nations and also for many people on Tribal.Lands regardless of where they are.
I am still working on sorting out how to classify information here in terms of geographic regions, cultural types, legal frameworks and challenges in common while keeping labels relatively succinct.
