Wordsmith - adding categories and tags

Hey there Dave,

This should not be a problem, things like that happen to me all the time :D

I would assume that you are using Laravel. If this is the case, what you could do is to just add a new categories table where you would store your categories and then create a category_id column in your posts table. That way you will be able to have a belongsTo relationship for your posts and categories.

For the tags, a quick way to do it is to just add a tags column to your posts table and have the tags stored as plain text separated by coma. Alternatively you could create a many to many relation to store the tags in a separate table and have a pivot table to store the relation between your posts and tags.

You can add the new columns and tables using the standard Laravel migrations:

Laravel Migrations

Best,

Bobby
