  I’ve seen in my dashboard how to categorize and also tagging but how to you place certain blogs under the word press categories? For example, when I want to look at other peoples photography blogs- I look under Blogs on Photography.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Just use tags and/or categories and your blog will appear in those pages, unless you’ve chosen the iNove theme or have a Mature blog.

  Thank you for your help! I guess what’s confusing to me is the difference between a category and a tag? What difference do they make in the blogging world? And can you use multiple tags?

  One more thing to add– be careful about how many categories and tags you assign to your posts. Less is more. Use only relevant categories & tags. Do not exceed a combined total of about 10 categories and tags on any single post. If you over tag AKA as spamdexing then your posts will be “missing” from the global tag pages.
