Generally, ‘Blog’ Posts are or should be used only for actual blog posts. Other types of posts should have their own custom post type. Category and Tag are shipped as standard with WordPress, but should only be used with blog posts. They are really just custom taxonomies labelled as Category and Tag. There are tools to enable the transfer of blog posts to custom post types (Post Type Switcher) and also to transfer taxonomy terms to other custom taxonomies (Taxonomy Switcher). This way, you can go back and fix any data organisation errors you might make.
If you have the same theme (we used Twenty Seventeen), this post talks about our demo page:
