  Trying to get my head around categories as my blog is a bit diffuse or diverse. Is there a list somewhere of the frequency of search by category that can give me a guide on best categories to use.

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

  Hi there,

  Tags and categories are both treated the same way by our Global Tag system. You can see the most popular tags/categories here:
  http://en.wordpress.com/tags/

  I recommend not worrying about that too much though. The bigger the tag, the more “competition” you’ll be up against in the results.

  For best results, I’d recommend applying 5-10 tags per post that would be the most appropriate words related to your subject. :)

  This might be useful to review as well:
