  • Step 3 - Add Blog Categories on the right side. Categories are meant for broad grouping of your posts, think of these as general topics. Categories are hierarchical, so you can add sub-categories. Sub-categories are made when a Category is added to a Parent Category . To assign it to the post, check the box next to the Category name.

  • Step 4 - To add Tags, write the Tags at the textbox below the Blog Categories. Tags are meant to describe specific details of your posts. They are the micro-data that you can use to micro-categorize your content. Tags are not hierarchical. Type the name of the tag in the field, separate multiple tags with commas.
