Managing Categories in Posts
What are categories?
Each post in WordPress is filed under one or more Categories. This aids in navigation, placing posts on our front and inside pages (e.g. the Groups page) and allows posts to be grouped with others of similar content.
How to assign categories
When you create a post, you should select the appropriate category in the right hand box. You may need to click on the ^ sign to open the Categories section:
Special categories
Authors should only use categories assigned to their specific activity (e.g. Photography, Dining Out, etc.) If you wish to use a different category, please check with the webmaster. Some categories are reserved for special use, such as Group page, Service_Group, etc – please refrain from using them – check with the webmaster in case of doubt.
