  WP uses the term Categories.

  1. Tags can be created when you write your post. There’s a box on the right hand side. Or you can go to your dashboard – manage – categories.

  2. Images don’t get tagged.

  3. At least using BlogDesk, you can tag a post. I’m not sure if you can create categories within the software or not. I never looked and I’m not sitting in front of that computer right now.

  FYI you can import your categories into BlogDesk and then mark each post as you go.

  *sigh*

  Posting before eating is a bad idea in my case.

  I guess I was unclear.

  I meant I wasn’t sure if you could create categories on the fly. It’s not in the main window, but I haven’t gone through all the menus and submenus to find out.

  But yeah. There’s an option in there somewhere to import your categories. If I need a new one then I create it using dashboard-manage-categories and then reimport the categories into BlogDesk.

  re: BlogDesk
  -> File -> Manage Blogs ->
  Properties -> Categories
  (2 choices “Get from server” and “Edit manually”)
  When in doubt simply upload as a draft.
  Then you can “tweak” it in your blog.
