01
Create the category
Use Posts → Categories and give the topic a clear name and slug.
02
Write a post
Use Posts → Add New for each tutorial lesson instead of putting all lessons into one giant category page.
03
Assign the category
Check the appropriate category so WordPress can include the post in that archive.
04
Write an excerpt

05
Add a featured image

Verify before moving on
