   Hello all,
   I have a site of resources which I need to build a category structure for, and am confused about the best way to go forward.

   The resources will be limited by age group: kids, teens, young adults, adults

   And also by resource subject: divorce, bullying, drug abuse, etc.

   And then, finally, by type: video, photograph, story, etc.

   I was thinking about doing custom post types to keep the resources seperate from the rest of the content.

   I need the navigation to be by age group, with drop downs underneath for each subject type relevant for each age group. ie:

   teens
   |_ divorce
   |_ bullying
   |_ drug abuse

   kids
   |_ divorce
   |_ bullying

   And, finally, I'd like some sort of selector widget on the sidebar along the lines of:

   I am a [age group select], dealing with [subject]. (optional) show only [resource type].

   Should I use categories for all of these? Tags? A mix of both?

   Thanks!

   Honestly, I'd set up a few custom taxonomies. That's what they're there for.

   Create a taxonomy for the age groups, then create a taxonomy for the subject and a taxonomy (or post type) for the type.
