When first starting out, it can be daunting to find a good balance between categories and tags. The table below provides examples of popular blog categories and how you can “tag” them for organization:
Category | Tag |
---|---|
News | local, world, sports, weather |
Real Estate | selling, buying, deals, business, trends, advice |
Music | rock, blues, jazz, contemporary, classical |
Food | local, exotic, vegetarian, seafood, americana |
