Big Mistake Unorganized (uncategorized) Wordpress Content

The easiest way to explain this would be through an example. Let's say I am a beer lover and I plan to have a blog about beers and everything related to beer and my idea is to write every other day a post about my beer drinking experiences, breweries, brands etc. So, how to prepare the organization of this site? OK, I am not a beer lover/drinker but I will pretend to be one for this example. If you were lucky, you have a domain like beer.com (at the moment of writing this, it is even up for sale!)

Even if I am not a beer guy I know there are different kind of beers: lager, pilsner, ale, dark... what else? (fill in the gaps with your knowledge) Now, I know my beer posts will be in some "groups" that in WordPress should be categories. My daily posts would go under different "groups", i.e. in Categories – that would be the very first classification of my posts. For some of them I might even have sub-categories: I know, for example, there are red and brown colored dark beers. So, under the Dark category I would create two sub-categories: brown and red.
And the categories and subcategories will contain the posts – the real content! If you take a look at the diagram on the next page you will have a visualization of what I just described above: this is the "picture" we should have about our future web site! When I used to live in Winnipeg there was a Mexican-style cantina where they called their red beer Murphy's Red . If I was to write a post about it, the path(bread crumbs) to my post would look like:

Beer > Dark > Red > Murphy's Red

It doesn't matter whether your blog or site will be about food recipes or flowers or airplanes or baby toys or trucks or love making positions... You should always find the best way to plan ahead how your content will be organized and structured. My point is: if you just throw in post after post in a huge pile of content, the whole thing will become chaotic. You need some kind of organizational principle to build on it. Of course, we will need some additional stuff, called Pages in WordPress – they are not categorized and they are not part of the chronological stream of the posts (although, technically, they are also entries stored in the WP database).

Pages are best used for About Us , Contact and similar "static" content, as well as for all the legal documents that you can, usually, find in the footer of the websites: Privacy , Terms , Disclaimer etc.

Just a quick note regarding Pages. When you have a complex web site in mind, a clever combination of Categories and Pages will give you a very flexible site architecture: you can tweak Pages to show both static and dynamic content; categories can act as "silos"; also Pages can be used for optin or sales pages etc.
