Alex et al.,

1) The categories in question are categories in the context of
blogging (i.e. user-generated ones that vary on a per-blog basis),
rather than a central category system.


It seems you're really just replacing tagging with tagging, changing
only the method by which blog posts get tagged.

So long as readers have the ability to view all posts tagged X then
you've really not changed much, other than perhaps where on the page the
user might find a link to everything tagged X, or Y, or Z.

8000 blogs with 8000 different combinations of categories is just as
messy as 8000 different combinations of tags.
