Add Some Side Content

To add tags to your blog post you will need to navigate to the right-side menu.
Select the right Category
Choosing the right category is an important step that not only guides your website visitors to the right content that they are interested in but also assists search engines in showing your blog post to the right audience looking for content. This option is also on the right side menu.
