In this video, the fourth in the series, we take a look at how to better organize your Posts in WordPress through the use of Tags and Categories.
Tags are the keywords you might assign to each post. They are typically displayed underneath each Post. Someone viewing your blog can click on one of those Tag links, and an archive page with all the Posts belonging to that Tag will be displayed.
Every Post in WordPress is filed under one or more Categories. Categories allow your Posts to be classifieds into groups and subgroups. If a visitor to your site clicks on a Category link, an archive page with all the Posts belong to that Category will be displayed. Unlike Tags, Categories may be assigned to a Parent Category so that you may set up a hierarchy within the category structure.
