  You can categorize posts using the information in this support guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#adding-categories-via-the-categories-module

  You can change your default category as explained here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#setting-the-default-category

  Give these a try and let me know how it goes.

  Thanks so much for your helpful links sent.
  I have one additional question: HOW DO I MOVE POSTS WHICH ARE ALREADY IN A CATEGORY AND ASSIGN/MOVE THEM INTO A NEW OR DIFFERENT CATEGORY….I am stuck here, please help.

  You can change the post’s categories from its Edit Post screen.

  Edit Post screen contains Categories panel. Un-select the existing categories and select the new ones. Click the big blue Update button once you are done updating categories.

  Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
