Unfortunately the concept is confusing to new bloggers and overlooked as an “option.” I get a lot of questions about categories and tags, so I wanted to let everybody know that wordpress.com has an excellent post describing categories and tags and how each work.

I also wanted to mention that ScotBlogs may be unavailable from 6-8 AM EST during the Tuesday morning maintenance window to install upgrades, apply security patches and perform other necessary tasks. The maintenance window is a weekly occurrence and we appreciate your understanding.
