Quick Blogcast now lets you add tags to your blog posts. From a programming perspective, categories and tags are nearly identical. But from a blogger’s perspective, categories and tags are quite different.

Imagine someone coming to your blog for the first time. They may read a blog post and really like it and then want to read more. But they might not be interested in everything you have to say. That’s where it’s nice to put your posts into categories so people can find things they are interested in reading about.

Tags complement these categories and allow you to further define your blog posts. Think of tags as being the index of a book. When you’re digging for something in a book, you really appreciate a good index. Used correctly, tags can really help users find blog posts they are interested in. Categories could be compared to a table of contents, helping users navigate to broad sections of content.

But you’re free to think of and use tags and categories however you like! We just want to let you know that you can use them both in Quick Blogcast. Check out our help center’s information about tags for the details.
