Kinda supererogatory, don't ya think. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of the writing category within my blog myself since 99.9999% of my blog is about writing.

So for instance a post in the Travel category might have tags such as "Japan, Tokyo, Asakusa, 2007" and so on. Then when a reader reads a post they like, they can click on a tag to be shown all other posts in your blog that share that tag. You can also search wordpress.com for particular tags simply by going to http://www.wordpress.com/tag/tagnamehere. So clicking http://www.wordpress.com/tag/writing will pull up recent posts with the writing tag, for instance. Tags help make a blog and a blog hosting site navigable. Misuse of them does the exact opposite. The idea is to use categories to broadly define the post, then tags to highlight specific points of interest within it.
