The use of them on your blog is a good example. Also, adding a test post brings up the category. Thanks again for your help! Jill Jordan, Yes, that did answer the question about the tags.

Go into the admin, then settings, then general and see if you can add the www to both the Wordpress address and the Site address. Save the changes and see if that fixes your problem. Anthony:

They both are just labels that you can apply to each post that help group multiple posts together. You can use them anyway you like, but typically you have less categories than tags and the categories are more general sections with interesting titles (like my Web Development category) and tags are more simpler keywords like "wordpress", "funny", "html", etc. You will often see tags being shown as a "tag cloud", which gives emphasis to the more commonly used tags on your blog. This helps people quickly see what your blog is about and lets them navigate based on those common topics. Does that help you understand the difference between tags and categories a little bit? They are definitely very similar in nature. Tags are very similar to categories. They both are just labels that you can apply to each post that help group multiple posts together.

I'm really glad I could help! Jill: I think you may have already answered this yourself in the email you sent me, but there's two things about the categories not showing. 1. You need to have that category widget added to one of your sidebar areas. 2. You need to have posts in those categories for them to show. It depends on the theme, but by default the category list function does not show categories with zero posts. Try adding a test post to any category to see if that fixes the problem.

I deleted the default categories and added my own, but the home page now shows none. Also, I don't understand the tags, even though I read the documentation about them in in the codex help. The 2 default tags are still there. Shoot me an email if you want my log on info. Thanks! Jill Hey Jordan,

I learned a lot but yearn for more all ready. I am wondering why when i click "Home" it takes me to "http://centexcga.com" and not "http://www.centexcga.com? Where is the "WWW"? Heres what i am looking at in the page editor that i cant change. <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c91/LiveFastRideHard/?action=view&current=pageeditor.jpg" rel="nofollow"></a> But i updated the link in the menu section as seen here... <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c91/LiveFastRideHard/?action=view&current=menu.jpg" rel="nofollow"></a> Still no luck. Any ideas on a fix? i am looking at it from an SEO standpoint as i want it going to the same link every time someone goes to the site via direct url or refreshing via home button. Let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks Anthony Hello Jordan,
Was great meeting you today. I learned a lot but yearn for more all ready. I am wondering why when i click “Home” it takes me to “http://centexcga.com” and not “http://www.centexcga.com? Where is the “WWW”?

Heres what i am looking at in the page editor that i cant change.

But i updated the link in the menu section as seen here…

Still no luck. Any ideas on a fix? i am looking at it from an SEO standpoint as i want it going to the same link every time someone goes to the site via direct url or refreshing via home button.

Let me know what your thoughts are.
Thanks Anthony
