  Kindly guide as to how to start this website, and which plan would be the most suitable.

  Hi Harshul,

  You can start a site on WordPress.com by following this link –
  https://wordpress.com/start

  And yes you can upload images, write posts.

  But if you wish to upload videos, you’ll need to be on the Premium or Business plan. If you wish to stay on the free plan, you can use sites like YouTube, Vimeo, etc to upload your videos and then embed them here on your blog.

  More info on videos here –

  More info on images here –

  More info on storage here –

  I hope this helps :)

  How do integrate the different categories with subcategories on the website,

  Here’s the guide to creating a category and a subcategory –
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

  But I think you’re looking for category pages, so check this out too –

  which theme is the best?

  It really depends on what you’re looking for plus your personal preference. I personally like themes like – Penscratch, Button, BigBrother, etc :)

  But you can choose any theme which you like. Just visit this page –
  https://wordpress.com/themes

  And click on ‘More’ to apply filters to your search :)

  Hi Omkar,

  There’s one more issue,

  I want the categories to be permanently displayed on the tab next to home,about and contact tabs,
  And when each category is clicked it leads to further subcategories.

  What are the steps to do this??

  Hi,

  Thanks, i was able to add a category link,

  Now once someone clicks that category how do i take the link to further subcategories??

  For example if JOKES is the parent category, and further subcategory options are HINDI JOKES, ENGLISH JOKES, etc multiple subcategories??
