Organizing Content

Understanding Categories​

Categories are broad groupings for your posts. Think of them as the main topics your blog covers.

Examples:

  • A food blog might have: Recipes, Restaurant Reviews, Cooking Tips
  • A travel blog might have: Destinations, Travel Tips, Packing Guides
  • A tech blog might have: Reviews, Tutorials, News

Best practices:

  • Keep categories broad (5-10 max for most blogs)
  • Each post should fit into one category
  • Use tags for more specific topics

Creating Categories​

  1. Click Categories in the sidebar

  2. Click New Category

  3. Fill in the details:

    • Name: The category name (e.g., "Recipes")
    • Description: Optional explanation of what this category covers
    • Status: Draft or Published

  4. Click Create Category

Note: Only published categories appear in the post editor dropdown.

Assigning Posts to Categories​

  1. Open a post in the editor
  2. Find the Category dropdown on the right side
  3. Select a category from the list
  4. Save your post

Each post can belong to one category.

Understanding Tags​

Tags are specific keywords that describe your post's content. They're more granular than categories.

Examples:

  • A recipe post might have tags: vegetarian, quick-meals, italian, pasta
  • A travel post might have tags: budget-travel, solo-travel, europe, backpacking

Best practices:

  • Use 3-5 tags per post
  • Keep tags specific and descriptive
  • Reuse existing tags when applicable

Creating Tags​

  1. Click Tags in the sidebar
  2. Click New Tag
  3. Enter the tag name
  4. The slug auto-generates (or you can customize it)
  5. Click Create Tag

Adding Tags to Posts​

  1. Open a post in the editor
  2. Scroll to the Tags section
  3. Click on tags to select them (selected tags turn purple)
  4. Save your post

You can select multiple tags for each post.
