How can i categorize blogs? So i can show diferent types in diferent menus. I wanted something like : show one kind of blog (with a certain tag) in one menu item and all others in other menu.

Can someone help me?

You can create new menu items in admin panel>>pages&menus>>pages&menus .
Choose "External URL" when adding new page.
As URL use URL for the search results by tags. For example: http://yoursitename.com/...-tag?tag=TAGNAMEHERE

Bhavika, manually editing all blogs and giving certain tags only to needed blogs might work for you.

Also, just a suggestion, you might want to hide "tags" field from "post/edit" blogs pages. So that only you as admin can add tags in database.

This can be done as a custom code modification only.

Thread revival :)

With so many devs now building categories into main feature plugins - Groups and Blogs plugins look and use a bit basic.

It would seem to my users, and to me - that site wide categories would prove a very good idea indeed.
