Add New Category
Enter the new category name and click the Add New Category button.
The new category will be:
- Assigned to the blog post
- Added to the category list so that it can be assigned to future blog posts
- Accessible via Posts >> Categories, where it can be edited independently.
The new category has been assigned to the blog post (indicated by the check mark).
Note: You can have a hierarchy of categories by using the Parent Category dropdown, but this is probably best left to a later stage (if at all). It’s wise to focus initially on creating useful categories that will bring related blog posts together.

I use categories to group related posts together in a menu. It's certainly possible that categories have become less relevant as Google moves towards content quality and value but as they are unlikely to do any harm and it takes only a few seconds to add them, I continue to do so.
