Categorizing your Post
If you prefer a short video, check out this “how to” on WordPress.tv: Adding Categories and Tags to your Post
Categorizing your posts will help other students and automated features or a website to easily recognize, differentiate and assign a high-level description to content that you share on the blog.
After you finish typing your post up, choose the appropriate “category” from the right side of the screen. For example, after you type up your “introduction” blog, you should make sure to check off “introductions” otherwise the post will simply show up as “uncategorized.”
