A blog is organized and structured using categories<ref>https://managewp.com/wordpress-categories-tags-seo</ref> and tags<ref>http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/using_tags</ref>. Readers searching for information written on a broad topic will benefit from categories. Those readers looking for a more specific topic will find tags to be more useful because they narrow down the information to a particular topic. Categories and tags will help readers navigate a blog's content easily to find the information they are looking for.
