What is a Tag

A Tag is a keyword which describes all or part of a Post. It is similar to a category but smaller in scope. A post may have several tags. Like Categories, Tags are usually linked to a page which shows all posts having the same tag. Unlike Categories, Tags can be created on-the-fly, by simply typing them into the tag field.
Tags are useful to let clients know what the post is about
Many people confuse Tags and Categories, but the difference is easy: Categories generally don’t change often, while your Tags usually change with every Post.
