Labels Legend

In an effort to more effectively utilize the labels gadgets (mainly for my own benefit), I've separated the following categories from the main list:

Surnames
Ontario Counties & Districts
Locations (other than those included above)
Cemeteries & Churches
Memes & Themes

And since I'm perpetually curious: how do you label/tag your posts?
