 * I am trying to build a site full of links. The viewer needs to be able to search
   them based on certain keywords. Is it better to make each link a separate post
   so that I can give each one a tag and category? Or is there a database plugin
   that will do this? Another suggestion that I haven’t thought of? Please keep 
   in mind that I am a relative beginner. Thanks!
