    Essential Categories

    Author: XEN
    Filed Under Uncategorized, Web Design |

    Did you notice you can never find a satisfying list of categories for a general blog ? I’ve searched the internet for about 2 weeks now searching for a good list of categories.

    The best choice in blog categories should be based on what your website focuses on. If you have a web design… the global categories should be sub categories web design.

    In general blogs, the categories tend to mold to a niche because the writers posting content can’t cover all categories. General blogs should contain all global Categories:

    Business

    Computers

    Health

    Home

    … and other.

    For inspiration on choosing categories for your blog, you can use web directories and browse trough the hierarchy. Creating all categories is not the best way, and should be avoided. To many categories could bring you problems like 2 similar categories acting as a duplicate.

    There is no real category list to use on any blogs, there’s no reference for choosing them. But you can browse directories like DMOZ.

    It is essential to get your categories straight from the start, this way you will avoid unwanted sorting problems later on. Remember the base rule: start with the global categories, and create sub-categories as you write new posts.
