Taxonomy is one of those words that most people never hear or use. Basically, a taxonomy is a way to group things together. In WordPress, a “taxonomy” is a grouping mechanism for some posts (or links or custom post types). WordPress 3 has introduced the ability to create custom hierarchical taxonomies, and due also to the addition of Custom Post Types the usefulness of custom taxonomies has increased.

As many stated before me: “A good WordPress citizen only loads their files where they’re needed”. This principle applies both to front-end and back-end (admin). There’s no justification for loading CSS and JS files on every admin page when you only need them on one single page you created. Thankfully doing things the right way is only one function call away.
