#### 2. Permalink

permanent links are the URLs of the blog posts and pages. Use this to change the URL structure to a different one, either for SEO purposes or to avoid long URLs.

#### 3. Categories

**Categories** are best used for **broad groupings** of topics. For example, if you’re creating a site that reviews pop culture, you might use categories such as *Books,* *Film,* and *TV*.

#### 4. Tags <a href="#id-4-tags" id="id-4-tags"></a>

**Tags** are more **specific keywords** that you want to use to associate related content. For example, if you were creating a site that reviews pop culture, you might want to use tags such as *science fiction*, *horror*, and *action adventure*.

You can combine the two! For our review site example, you might be reviewing a romantic comedy. You can assign the broader category Film to the post, then give it some more specific tags such as *romantic comedy*, or even use the name of the actors and director as tags. People who view that post could use the tags to find related posts around that topic.

#### 5. Featured Image

The featured image will be displayed in post single, post grid, post list. Reference <https://wordpress.com/support/featured-images/>
