No Sweat! It's all relevant. I'm glad that this issue is getting some discussion as it's something that touches all of us.
The important thing to remember is that the method of organizing is directly related to your own personality and scrapping methods. As we're all different in these areas, it stands to reason that our preferred method of organizing would be different, as well.
To update on my progress, my tagging is going very well in Bridge. I'm so thrilled that this is (theoretically) the last time I'll have to do this. I've done it three times...first in PSE Organizer, second in Shoebox, and third in Bridge. Writing the tag to the actual file is something that fills me with unmeasurable joy! I have over 20,000 files in my scrapbooking folder! (I keep everything for forever, isn't that dumb?) I love the freedom of using different software later if I want to and I also love that i can move all of my stuff to an EHD if I want to without losing the tag information. I am a pretty neurotic file organizer and needs change over time so I enjoy the freedom of reorganizing my folders at will, again, without losing the tags.
By the way, I learned elsewhere that you can create your keywords in a text document first and import them into Bridge. Super cool & super easy! If anyone is interested in how, just post here. It's a thousand times easier than adding them one at a time!
Joy, joy, joy. It's the little things in life, isn't it?
