What is a Category

Each post in WordPress is filed under a category. Categories allow posts to be grouped with others of similar content and aids in the navigation of a site.
The User might provide several services.  Often articles are published to inform clients concerning those services e.g:  Stress, Disorders, The Journey.  Each article can be assigned to a category, clients can then request to read all articles concerning just that category.
