  Hi there,
  Go to the support docs and use your best friend there called the searchbox:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories-vs-tags/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

  For tagging tips see my post here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2013/03/15/quick-blog-post-tagging-tips/

  Lastly, don’t go crazy when tagging. The rule of thumb is to assign to your posts the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the individual post content.
