WordPress has a categorization system that lets users categorize posts. However, using categories is no longer state of the art: In the word wide web, tagging is established — and categorizing is obsolete.
Category Tagging
First of all, let’s summarize what is needed if we want to use tags on a blog:
* Assigning one ore more tags to each post
* Displaying a sorted list of all tags that are used in the blog
* Tag cloud
* Displaying the tags in each post as part of the post’s meta data
In addition, we could use the tags of each post to display a list of related posts. Such list would be more accurate than a PHP code that retrieves related posts programmatically from the database.
