Display related posts on your blog
Let's take a look at how to display the list of related posts so that your users can get interested in other posts on your blog.
This option will allow you to keep the user's attention longer on your blog and thus increase the number of posts read (and page views). Make your reader's real fans of your blog by directing them to related posts.
Reminder: Use tags and categories to organize your posts
Adding content regularly to your website is excellent for your websites SEO. But the more content you have, the better organized you need to be. The system of categories and tags help you organize your posts.
Categories are used to sort your posts by theme (example: categories "starters", "main courses" and "desserts" if you have a cooking blog).
The tags allow you to propose a crossed sorting (the tags could, for example, be ingredients: "apples", "mustard", "beef"). But tags also have another function: to offer the user to display the list of related posts(in our example, recipes that contain the same ingredient.
Here is an example of a proposal for related posts, which could appear at the bottom of a recipe based on cinnamon.
Enable the option in the manager
To enable this option, go to Add-ons > Blog> Options and select the Show related posts tick box.
Add tags to your blog posts
Tags are the common keywords used in your posts. For each blog post you publish, determine one, two, or three relevant tags (no more).
Example: For a chicken recipe with mustard, you could add the tags "chicken" and "mustard". For a cinnamon chicken recipe, you could tag your recipe with the words "chicken" and "cinnamon". And finally, for an apple pie with cinnamon, you could add the tags "apples" and "cinnamon".
