Categories

What categories are for

Categories are the broad topics your content falls under — the main sections of your blog. Each post belongs to one category. Readers can filter your blog index by category to find what they're looking for.

Assigning a category

In the post settings panel, use the Category field. Type to search existing categories or create a new one on the fly.

Managing categories

From the Posts page, open the category menu to:

• Create, rename, or delete a category
• Choose an emoji and color (used as a visual tag on the blog)
• Bulk-reassign multiple posts to a different category

Best practices

• Keep it short — 3 to 7 categories is ideal. More than that and the structure starts to feel like noise.
• Be broad — Categories define the shape of your blog. Save the specifics for the post itself.
• Stay consistent — Pick a naming style (sentence case, lower case) and stick with it.
• Reorganize without fear — You can bulk-move posts between categories at any time.
