+# Tags and Categories
+If you are using Chirpy, you need to figure out Tags and Categories. They will go in the heading syntax, in yaml format.  I will paste mine here without the lines "-" so you can see how it looks.

+Techno Tim talks in his video about this. Chekc that out. Says some important things, like lower case.  I am continuing that and explaining more about `tags` and `categories`  *What do they do?"* 😕 On the website on the left, there are sections labeled *tags* and *categories*  if you do this right, your tags and acetegories will show up there.
+- `categories` are like a file folder sytem.  My main category in this instance is "homelab" and my subfolder is "website."  If I do other projects that are "homelab" they will go there, but if the second tag on the next project is them "kuberneties" then there will b a new sub folder there.  Check out my Categories section, if you want to see.
+- `tags` are just that, and you can have a lot of them.  These are all going to be clustered on that page.
+Lookat the above, and look at my site, hopefully this makes sense. Hopefully I have helped explain, becasue I did not understand before.
+Here is the wiki on it, but it did not help me understand.  `tags` and `categories` are very much the same, but yet very different.  :smile:
