“…selecting the right categories and tags will help immensely.”

Inside a post, categories and tags are organizational bits that allow both the author/editor and readers to quickly recognize what topics will be covered in a post and what information is related to the post. Categories can indicate broader, general topics covered throughout a blog’s area of expertise. Categories can stack within a hierarchical order, being able to nest under other categories. Tags can list any number of smaller, more specific topics that can exist within multiple posts. Unlike categories however, tags are unable to nest under each other.
For Many Such Fantasies, I plan to use categories to list the larger blanket of fantasy subgenres that media can fall under. There is a wide variety of types of fantasy that exist out there, many with some form of overlapping thematic. Examples to this can be Modern Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, High Fantasy, and more.
Tags I can use in a much looser fashion, thankfully. While I’ll use the tags initially to tag the media first, I can then expand and add more tags based on elements that I cover specifically in that post (mythology, power systems, magical objects, etc.)
