  Hi all,
  on my blog (http://marcodifresco.wordpress.com/) I post news and guides about computers.

  Often I publish posts that are continuation of previous published posts. The posts are separated, but I like to keep the same tags and categories association. Here an example:
  http://marcodifresco.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/world-of-warcraft-ptr-patch-242/
  http://marcodifresco.wordpress.com/2008/06/20/world-of-warcraft-ptr-patch-243/

  My problem is that every time I make posts like these I have to manually add the tags and categories to the new posts.

  Is there a way to create a post using another post as template?

  Thank in advance.

  Copy/paste. Then edit.

  You’ll still have to add the categories and tags manually.

  Copy and paste of the text is not the problem (the example I indicated was actually one of the few cases where the body of the post was almost identical); the manual add of the categories and tags was the issue. :-)

  I guess there is non automated solution, right?

  Thank you anyway for the answer.
