Thank you so much, Google! AKA, the parent company of Blogger.
After instituting a 2,000 label limit right at the moment while I was at something like 2,207 labels, I was pretty much forced to stop labeling. If I'd come up against it at 2000, at least I could have pruned. Consolidated, made some room for myself under the limit that I'd only just hit. But to be given the limit at 200+ over it already, there just was no way. I wasn't going to kill 200+ labels just to get to the point of being able to prune!
So I pretty much decided to stop labeling posts. Preserve the previous posts as they were, a testament to the unleashed power of the labeling function. But going forward: to do without. A real bummer, because my canny use of the label function had become something of a hallmark, for me. A calling card. A greeting card. Like I said: Hallmark.
Well, Google has taken mercy! Has heeded the cries of myself and others with umptabajillion posts and consequently, a veritable quenticentiary of labels to go with them. Google has upped the limit to 5,000! With the stern proviso: that's as high as it goes, folks.
Well that's more than fine by me, Goog! Thanks a buncha!
This is awesome. I'll tell you why: now I can go back and prune the unnecessary ones, be more disciplined going forward, but still be able to add a new label or two on a post where it really counts! Where it really adds value to the blog's content indexability (indexibility?), and/or the post's impact! Sometimes, comedic impact. Yes, I know that the latter is not the purpose of the label function. But oh how versatile a tool it was in that regard! And now it's back! Did I say awesome already?
Now onward.
Discipline, lads. Let's have a little discipline.

Shoot. There's still a whole honkin' swathe of November 2009 posts that are entirely missing the labels!
I need to go back and fill those in. No wonder I can't get results.
