Using Categories to Organize the Posts on your Blog

Categories and tags are a great resources for helping you group common topics related between your blog posts. For instance if you were writing for the Buchhof Bulletin, you might want all of the posts that are related to the Senior School Students, to show up in one common place. By creating a Category like SrS, you could then check a box for each post related to the Senior School prior to publishing it and it would make sure that post got grouped with all the other SrS posts on the website. Categories can also be added to your menu as a way of helping people navigate to some of the big topics for your website.

Keep it Private with a Password

Your privacy is very important. It is important that you can share your story but also that you can do it with only the ones that you trust and want to share. Did you know that you can create a password for your blog? By using a password, you can share your published content with a private audience by only sharing the password with those you want reading your content.
