-
(Categories is a list which is present in the Blog site by default)
Once the post is Tagged, publish it.
Now when you view the Post click on the Category as shown in the below screen shot.
Once you click on it , it will take you to category.aspx page where it will show you all the POSTS tagged to that particular Category.

Issue: When you click on any category from Blog Post , it returns a blank page. No Posts, no webparts, even if the category is tagged properly.
Cause: Posts Webpart is deleted from the Category.aspx - /Lists/Categories/Category.aspx
