    How to add categories and tags to your blog posts


    Add categories and tags to your blog posts to:

    • Keep your posts organized

    • Help your visitors find content when they search

    What's the difference between categories and tags?

    category allows you to group similar blog posts. For example, if you are writing a travel blog, you could use the word 'America' as a category. Any other posts you write related to America can then be grouped under the same category

    tag makes a blog post easier to find and provides more information on the content of your posts. Tag words that your site visitors might use when searching. For example, someone searching for information on visiting America might search for 'America', 'USA', 'Travelling America'
