If we still manually create these *category*/*tag* type files, it will obviously be a super time-consuming job, and it is very likely to miss some of them(i.e. when you click on the missing `category` or `tag` link from a post or somewhere, it will complain to you '404'). The good news is that we got a lovely script tool to finish the pages creation stuff: `tools/init.sh`.
