Categories & tags
By default, the post will be added to the News category, unless you decide to add it to another one (which you will have to create).
Categories are hierarchical. This means they can have parents and children. A good use of categories would be for example “News”, “Story”, “Press release”.
You can also add tags to posts. A tag is similar to a keyword, a topic. This is optional but an example would be for example “Refugees”, “Project day”, …

To do so, click on the Featured Image link, and select / upload the image you would like to use.

This allows you to plan news releases in advance if you are away at the moment you would like it to go online).
