CREATING CATEGORIES and TAGS

Adding categories and tags to posts and pages is completely optional.

CREATING CATEGORIES
Categories allow the broad grouping of posts topics when you want to describe a
post. But when you want to describe a post in more specific terms, you would have
to use or add more categories, or you can start adding tags.

To add categories that pertains to your post, scroll down on the „Write Post‟ page
and click the „Add New Category‟ link under the „Categories‟ section which will then
introduce a type and drop down box, along with an „Add‟ button. From there, start
introducing categories for your post. For example, if you were writing a post entitled
“Our Thanksgiving Dinner,” you may file it under the „Dinner‟ category.

ADDING TAGS

Tags are similar to categories, but instead of a list of words to choose from, you write
them in a list (separated by commas) in a text box below your post. They are free
form words and generally describe your post in more detail. For example, like stated
earlier, if your post was title “Our Thanksgiving dinner,” and you put it under the
„Dinner‟ category, you could have tags like, „turkey, mashed potatoes, family,
stuffing‟.

MANAGING COMMENTS

In WordPress, people have the option to leave comments on your site.

To manage comments that have been left for you, click on the „Comments‟ tab on the
Dashboard and from there you can moderate. Each comment is listed and you can
decide if you want to approve the comment, the comment is spam or if you would like to
delete it.

To do so, select the comment you would like to manage by putting a check in the
checkbox next to the author of the comment, and from there click one of the four
available buttons titled „Approve,‟ „Mark as Spam,‟ „Unapprove,‟ or „Delete.‟
