  Hi Clementine,

  It’s not possible to add categories or tags to static pages. What’s your overall goal in doing that? If you want menu tabs that show only posts in certain categories, you can do that by setting up “category pages”:
  Category Pages

  i want pages to be listed along with post under the tag cloud. because i have a lot of essays and pieces as pages instead of posts but i still want them to show up with the posts on the same topics.

  Hi Clementine,

  In that case, the only thing I can suggest is to convert them to posts. You could use categories to have the same set up you have now, only with posts instead of pages. For example, you could copy each of your ‘Essays’ pages to a post, and add them all to the ‘Essays’ category, and then replace the ‘Essays’ menu tab with a category tab:
  Category Pages

  Then, that tab would pull up all your Essays posts. I hope this helps!
