## Steps

1. Inside Buffer's Publish tab, select a post under Queue and click its corresponding 'Add Tags' button.
2. Following that, tick the checkbox next to the tag that best describes the type of the selected post.
3. Tap anywhere to apply the changes. Going forward, repeat the same series of steps until all posts in your queue are properly labeled according to content type.
4. Once done, head over to the left-side panel and then click 'Manage Tags'.
5. Review the number of posts per category under the 'Scheduled' column. Make sure that all of them are equal to one another to balance the content types in your Buffer Queue.
