  • Answer:

    There's a couple of top-level categories that seem like "orphans," namely "industry" and "FOSS."  Is there any way those can be "folded in" with some other categories? The one "industry" post looks like it might fit with "history," for instance.

Yes, you have to think about how the end user, or reader, is going to look for the information. It may make sense to you but the person who doesn't know the content needs to be able to see the organizational structure of an information set in one fell swoop. Ordering by topic seems the path of least resistance here. But I don't think ordering alpha by post title is going to be useful -- it requires prior knowledge of the content. Are there subtopics for blog posts like there are for questions (i.e. you can set a primary topic for a question and several subtopics)? Perhaps those will help if they are available.
