Adding a New Tag

Adding a new tag is very similar to adding a new category and can be done as you create the blog post.

Tags appear directly below Categories.

Instead of a list of tags like you have with categories, the Most Used Tags are shown and you can select one.

Alternatively, start typing a tag name and a list of matches will appear for selection.

You can, of course, continue to enter a completely new tag name and it will be both added to the list and associated with the blog post.

I'm not sure when this was posted, should we still be adding tags to every post?, or is this out of date?

I add multiple (relevant) tags and categories to every post. Why would you not?

I only asked because in your training post you said tags may have become redundant or ignored by Google, and I was not sure how old the post was. I see some videos in WA from 2012 which are well obsolete, I will use categories and tags - thanks

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.
