Categories

You can give structure to a blog if you remember to add your Posts to one or more categories. Here you have to analyze your content. Which categories will be relevant in this case?

Categories can be anything from:

  • Language (categories: English, Danish, Slovakian, German, Chinese)
  • Topics (categories: fashion, kitesurfing, hiking)

To the right in the Post settings you can add any post to a category. If the category does not exist you can create it too:

In this case you can see a few language categories. This post is in the English category. You may want more categories than this.

Categories and the Menus

In the menus you can link to a category. The category is presented in the Archive template. So if you want to change the looks of the category page, that’s the template you’re looking for.
