  Hi Setting up one of my first wordpress blogs and had a question about the best way to organize content.

  I have 4 main categories that each have multiple sub categories.

  Brands: (Altec Lansing, Bose, Logitech, Creative, Sony, JBL, iHome, ….)
  Speaker Type: ( Boombox, desk, premium, home, portable, alarm clock, wireless, iPhone)
  Story Types: (News, Reviews, Interviews, Announcements, Buying Guide, Feature Guide)
  Price: (less than $100, $100 to $150, $150 to $200, $200 to $300, $300 and Up)

  My plan was to assign each post to one category from each section if applicable.

  a speaker to review would have a brand, speaker type, story type, and a price
  a news story may only have a brand and story type.

  Is this overkill? How would you organize this content?

  Should I be using all tags?

  Thanks! Looking for the easiest simplest way to organize the site.

  That sounds fine. Four categories (or tags) per post is a reasonable amount.

  If you’re building an ecommerce site, you’re probably in the wrong forum and need to be at WP.org instead. Have you read this:

  It sounded to me like the OP is planning a review blog (which would be fine), not a sales shop, but I could be wrong.

  Thanks for all the comments.

  rosclarke is correct, it is a blog of news and reviews for speakers.

  Thanks to raincoaster I may be in the wrong forum. I hope to learn more about wordpress and host the site myself.

  Thanks for the information, I am excited to learn about wordpress and want to find the best way to organize my blog.

  Any additional info is very helpful!

  You need to be over in WordPress.org if you are not hosted at WP.com. Without a direct link to your blog, we can’t give you appropriate answers to your questions.
