I noticed that some blogs dont use categories, they have archives and search still but have chosen not to have a categories link on their blog at all. Have you done this on any of your own blogs?
I believe most people use categories, unless you we are referring to adult sites, they just don't mind.
ya, I do. you can read it why categories are important. http://www.blogriser.com/why-no-one-is-reading-your-blog/89
Thanks for your replies everyone, i agree that categories are important, i have been suprised lately to see some blogs not using categories at all.
Are you pointing towards the fact that some blogs don't show or don't use? There is a difference between the two. I have seen many personal blogs which don't show any categories on homepage but do use them. BTW its impossible to write a post without a category in Wordpress...it will take it as Uncategorised if you don't specify any category.
Im glad you brought this to my attention actually navjotjsingh, i realise now, after what you just said, yeah they have to be using categories, but choosing not to show the categories.
yes whenyou start your blog you se tthe categories first, then your post go in each category , your pages are like a nav bar and have major items of importance to the blog. so when you set up a post , itgoes to a category.
