User Guide

POSTS
Posts are discussed in detail in their own chapter, so this is a
brief overview.
Posts
Menu > Posts > Posts
Show all the blog posts on your site.
Add New
Menu > Posts > Add New
Add a new blog to your site.
Categories
Menu > Posts > Categories
When blogs are created or edited you can put them in categories. These
categories are then used as filters on your website, or even in menu items. Good
categorisation will pay off in the long term as the content on your site grows.
Post Tags
Menu > Posts > Post Tags
Tags are keywords that you “tag” to the blog post. For example, on a cookery
blog you may tag all posts that discuss cakes with the word “cake”. To create a
category for every potential tag would be unmanageable, so tags are a good - and
very important - feature of WordPress.
Tags are then used to filter on, search on, create tag “clouds” and so on.
