Within the Blog tool, you can also manage blog categories. Categories are visible to the readers of your blog and make it easy to understand what category the specific blog topic belongs to. (Ex: Academics, Sports, Recent Graduates).
Tip: Blogs may be assigned to more than one category.
To add or edit Categories, you’ll first need to navigate to the Blog tool in the Plug-Ins Manager. After selecting the Blog tool, you can access Categories from any tab. To do so:
Select the Categories Button

Understanding the Categories Toolbar Icons:
If you’ve already added categories to your blog, you will see them displayed within the Categories Manager, along with a helpful toolbar that makes it easy to make changes to your existing categories.
- Toggle Featured: Allows you to set the category as featured when selected; all blog posts in that category will be automatically featured.
-
Edit: Allows you to edit or change the category name.
-
View Posts: Allows you to see all posts associated with the category.
-
Delete Category: Allows you to remove the category. Note: Categories cannot be deleted if they have blog posts associated with them.
