    Hello all,
    I want to know that why WP allows to publish a single post into multiple categories?
    Why one would like to publish a post in many categories??

    Lets say I wrote a post about a great new site that discussed the weather and displayed wonderfully on my iPhone, I might want to put it in weather, gadget and web categories. If it gets out of hand tags might be better.

    Thanks,
    then why one would not use Tags to put it in different sections, why he would choose categories?
    If user is allowed to publish post under multiple categories then what is the use of Tags???

    personal choice - one can use whatever one wants to use.

    if you want only one category, use only one category.

    what is the use of Tags???
