Categories and tags: tools to organize your content

Before you get too many entries created, you might want to start organizing your blog so that content can be easily found. You can create categories as well as tags for your posts, then provide links to these categories or tags that you have created in a sidebar widget.

Categories tend to be larger subjects that your blog might focus on, such as American history by decades, or English authors in the 19th century;.

Tags tend to more specific terms that a post is about, such as The War of 1812, or specific authors.

You can add multiple tags or categories to posts.
