What are categories?
By Mike | December 29, 2006
Categories allow you to create groups or topics for your posts. For example at this time I have 3 categories on this blog. One is all of the posts about blog questions called - questions.
Two are test posts - I use this category for trying out new things so people can see how a particular plugin works or looks on an actual blog.
Three are updates - Here is where I post news about the membership site or changes to my multimedia course.
This makes it easy for the reader to be able to sort all of the posts and see everything about a single topic easily. If you are interested in seeing all the questions that have been answered so far you can just choose the category link for questions.
Likewise if you are a member of Word Press Made Easy and are only interested in the updates that are listed here just click the update link.
You can create as many categories as you need. Right now I only have 3 but I can easily foresee adding new ones. Just on a guess one for theme reviews, one for plugin reviews probably aren’t far away. May even add an optimization category. See it is simple to add and makes your blog more user friendly and easily searchable by topic.
This is another in a series answering blogging questions. Feel free to leave comments with the question you would like to see addressed here.
