Why aren't my Categories working?

  When I click on a Category on one of my published posts, instead of delivering me to a WordPress page for that Category listing other people’s posts, it just brings up my own posts I’ve published in that Category. It’s working like an archive of my own stuff rather than embracing the entire WordPress community.

  It sounds like using Tags would better fit your blogging needs. Categories provide bloggers with a way to link together their own posts that touch on similar topics.

  Tags, on the other hand, link all posts tagged with a similar keyword together so that you can visit a URL such as http://wordpress.com/tags/cooking/ and find similar posts from a variety of users.
