One of the techniques used in usability testing is to let users define how your site should be organized by card-sorting. This was done by getting an inventory of your site (for example, all the Article Titles of your blog), writing them in cards, and having volunteers group them as how they see fit.
Fortunately, there are now more quicker ways to do this. There are now online programs like Optimalsort.com and WebSort.net that allow UX testers to conduct card-sorting.

Alternatively, you could just rely on social tagging by installing a Wordpress plugin called TagThis.
Essentially, you would get your visitors to automatically tag your posts. Unfortunately, you might find that people will tag your articles in many, many different ways. Some might not really make sense to you any more. It also tends to extend your list of tagging keywords.
