==Every post must have a category==
==Categories and tags==
Just like it says. Choose the ONE category that's most appropriate (no more than one) -- you may want to read them all first, to make sure you're selecting the appropriate one.  
Every post must have ONE, and ONLY ONE category. Choose the category that's most appropriately. If this is your first time scheduling a post, you may want to read them all first, to make sure you're selecting the appropriate one.  


===Tags===
===Tags===
Only add tags if they're appropriate; they're not required.  
Tags are not required. DO NOT duplicate the category name in the tag. Tags are useful for finding content which pertains to particular topics quickly. For example, if you're writing an interview with FltAdml. Wolf, you'd want to tag the post "Tristan Wolf", so that we can find all posts about FltAdml. Wolf. If you're writing a simple event update (Writing Challenge reminder, monthly chat, etc.) don't bother putting in a tag.
