    I had an idea to startup somewhat of a 'girl advice' site. I really couldn't think of how to categorize the post, so does anyone have blogs without categories?

    Categories will be necessary once you get to 20 or more posts although today's tags may deem them obsolete.

    I'd get started without them and I think they'll be obvious once you get started.

    I did it for a long time, until recently. Then I had to go back and re-categorize everything when I installed a new theme that depended on them. It sucked.

    Just keep it simple...under 10 if possible, maybe even 5 or under.

    In a blog, categories are a must.

    Boys
    Make-Up
    Clothes/Fashion
    School

    are some categories that would work for you. But, you really need to use categories on a blog.

    Category make it easier for readers to find what they want, so it's better if you categorized your post.

    Yea categories are for the users, not for you. But, if you really want you can choose not to use them or show them on the page (just edit your theme).
