Categories and Tags

Categories are evergreen topics that broadly organize the articles on your news site — visitors can filter articles by these categories.
Categories are listed on Landing Homepages and within articles themselves.
When a visitor clicks on a category, or uses the "Filter By" on a listing page, it generates an RSS feed of all articles listed within that category.
