WordPress provides the possibility to add both multiple categories and multiple tags to each post. In order to avoid chaos and confusion I decided upon the following usage policy for this site:

1. Categories are used to define structure and facilitate site navigation:
   • There is a 2-level-hierarchy structure (sub-categories will have no sub-categories);
   • Only 1 category is assigned to each post.
2. Tags are used in posts to link directly to other related posts:
   • Besides “keyword tags” posts also has “category tags”  with related category names assigned;
   • Only sub-category names are used for tags. Main category name will be used only if no sub-category is applicable;
   • Maximum of 10 keyword tags for each post.
3. Categories and tags are by default:
   • Capitalized only when referring to a name, brand or “category”;
   • Singular (not plural)
