Hi. I want to create a blog. I need the article to have a category and tags. Now i have this structure of my site:

Content  
– \_index.md  
– custom-page1.md  
– custom-page2.md  
– blog:  
---- category 1  
------ \_index.md  
------ article-1-1.md  
------ article-1-2.md  
------ article-1-3.md  
---- category 2  
------ \_index.md  
------ article-2-1.md  
------ article-2-2.md  
------ article-2-3.md  
---- category 3  
------ \_index.md  
------ article-3-1.md  
------ article-3-2.md  
------ article-3-3.md

By default hugo make folder category like [section](https://gohugo.io/content-management/taxonomies/#default-taxonomies:~:text=section%09The%20landing%20page%20of%20a%20given%20section%09posts%20section%20(%2Fposts%2Findex.html)).  
And front-matter of my article:

```
+++
tags = ["tag1", "tag2"]
+++

```

How will be better? Register the category together with the tags for the article in the front-matter and remove the category folders, or leave it as it is? And how to write info for a category / tag if I will remove folders (with \_index.md inside) ? Now I have it recorded in a file \_index.md (file in folder “category 1”):

```
+++
title = "Category 1"
type = "subCategory"
+++

```

And how to range my categories? Now i have in \_index.md some parameter and use it:

`{{ range where .Site.Pages "Params.type" "subCategory" }}`

But maybe there is a better way to do this?
