Creating categories to store your blog post properly

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Here are a few categories type which I apply on my blog in order to start to store my blog post in a proper manner:

  • Formal categories types. Example is types of blog post, is it a business post, consumer post, crappy post. Which market the blog post caters to, travel, food etc
  • Characteristics of blog post( cool, dark side, sexy, funny, complains etc)
  • Meaning of your blog post. Is there a message you want to bring across.
  • Date/time of your blog post

This is important so that your readers know where to find the relevant content. So start organizing your thoughts for your blog’s categories

Categories vs tags for WordPress

It feels great if you have other bloggers who add you into their blogroll. Its like you been accepted to their blogs(home).They feel the same when you add their blog site to my blogroll as well :D

To be accepted in their blogroll is a challenging 1. Your blog (more…)
