I was watching the video on how to filter blogs, but i dont know how to make categories.
how did he create that?
This is the basic principle of a database: cross tables. In Webflow’s language: referenced collections.
So you have a collection called blog post right? With fields like Title, Body of text, Images etc. Two obvious things you need to add are : category, and author if there’s more than one author. But those are repeatable informations, so you don’t want to type them in as text in a text field of your blog post collection. Also you want to be able to sort by category or author a list of blog posts later.
To do this, create a new collection. Called Categories. Add a text field for the name of the category, and maybe a color field so you can later give a colored hint in each blog post depending on its category. Once done, add 3 categories to begin with.
Once the collection is made, go back to the settings of your blog post collection, add a Reference field and select the category collection. Now in each blog post (creation or editon) you’ll have a list to pick categories.
And do the same for Authors, and for anything that is a characteristic of a blog post.
