Categories + tags
Categories and tags are used to organise blog posts, and is incredibly useful on large blogs with many posts. Generally an article should have one (or few) broad categories and many specific tags. Take a food blog as an example. If you have a recipe for a ‘Red Sauce Pasta’ you might categorise it as ‘Dinner’, ‘Lunch’ or ‘Quick meals’. You could then apply multiple tags that are more specific to the recipe, for example, ‘pasta’, ‘pasta sauce’, ‘lamb mince’, ‘zucchini’, etc.
