How to choose your categories (no messy structure)
Step 1: Pick categories based on your main topics
Your categories should match what you publish most. Don’t create categories for one-off ideas.
- Choose 3–6 main topics
- Name categories clearly (simple words)
- Make sure each category can hold at least 10 posts over time
Step 2: Use one main category per post
This keeps your site organised. One post can have tags (optional), but it should have one main category to avoid confusion.
- Main category: one
- Tags: optional, keep under control
- Consistency matters more than “perfect” structure
Step 3: Keep category names user-friendly
Use simple names that make sense to readers. Avoid long category names and avoid creating too many similar categories.
- Good: “Guides”, “Tutorials”, “SEO”, “Monetisation”
- Avoid: “Random tips”, “Other”, “Misc”, “New posts”
- If you’re unsure, start with fewer categories
Step 4: Use internal links to guide readers
Categories help people browse, but internal links help people take the next step. Link to your most useful pages naturally.
- Link to How To Use UploadBlog from tutorial posts
- Link to UploadBlog Features when explaining tools
- Link back to your Blog page from hub pages when relevant

FAQ (category structure)
How many categories should I start with?
Start with 3–6 categories. Too many categories early creates a messy site with empty archives.
Should I use tags as well?
Tags are optional. If you use them, keep them limited and consistent. Categories are more important for structure.
Where do I show my latest posts?
Your latest posts should appear on your Blog page. This should be your main “latest posts” hub.
