i'm using wordpress to build a latest project. i tried to learn wp numerous times but due to lack of real life application they went nowhere. now that i have a project to work on i'm really kicking my butt to learn it.

i have used b2evolution for many years (this blog is powered by b2evo) it's unavoidable that i'll use it as comparision.

one of the things i need to do is to create pages. and to catergorize those pages. doing so is straight forward in b2evo.

and guess what.... it's not available in wordpress! not even tags and excerpts. why would wordpress assume that these aren't required?

thankfully there are plugins. extra steps are required to achieve what i want.

after trying out a few plugins, i ended up using ninja page categories and tags because it's simple and it works. once installed a category section is displayed in page editing page.

by default, when showing a category, page is not included. to include pages, add codes to functions.php.
