When working in WordPress, you may want to create posts to provide information to your site’s visitors.  Unlike WordPress pages, posts do not add links in the main menu.  However, prior to building any posts, you should take a moment to create categories to identify any newly created posts.  For example, I’ve created three categories:  Computer Fixes, Internet Suggestions, and WordPress.

 
 
To create a category…

1. Go to your admin section of your WordPress site
2. Click on “Posts”
   on the website menu.
3. This opens a sub-menu where
   you can click on “Categories”
4. Give the new category a name
    
    
    
    
    
5. It’s not required, but you can also give the new category a slug to call it up through an html link.
   
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
6. If the category is a sub-category of another already created one, you can assign it as such in the drop-down menu.

    
   
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

7. Although also not required, you can also give the category a description
   
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
8. The click button to create new category.
