A Boston question

I don't usually bother mentioning when I add/remove a web site to the RSS feed that supplies the headlines on the left. The way that works, by the way, is that I use Google Reader to track my feeds, and then create new feeds based on what category I tag particular items. Those feeds are tracked by the blog and put into the headlines. I get a couple hundred items a day but only decide to post about a fifth of them -- mostly in the Science category. If you're really interested in what I find interesting (and if this is so, I commend your taste), you can even use your own RSS reader to track them. But then I don't get the blog hits. Please come here often. Please?

Anyway, so here's what I'm currently debating. I added Boston 1775, a neat blog about Boston in the Revolutionary era, to the feed. But as my only historical feed, what category does it belong in? It's clearly Boston-related, but the rest of the Boston feed are posts about living in Boston, or local news. It's also pretty Geeky, but then again, that's a pretty vague category that I've loosely defined as being for "culturally geeky" things, like technology and web comics. Oh well. I'll keep it in Boston for now, and if anyone complains, well, secretly I'll just be happy they're clicking my links.
