If I write a blog post about podcasting in WordPress, and I have a podcasting and WordPress Tips category, I'd want the post in both categories. That way, if you are looking for information on podcasting, you would find it in that category. If you are looking for WordPress Tips, and stumble across how to add podcasts to your WordPress blog, and you realize that this is something you would like to do with your WordPress blog, then I've just made a new friend. :D You can put your post in ten categories, but if you do, you might want to reconsider your categories and make them a little more specific.
