Hello,
Yes, if you are using Drupal 7, it has build in Blog module if you are asking for Drupal 8 then you can go as I describe below.

You Can use Drupal Core Content Type feature for Blog management. You could manage it around Drupal 8 as describe below:

Ex. The Blog content type will have four fields: Body, Image, Tags and Category.

1) Go to Structure > Content types and click "Add content type".
2) Enter "Blog" into the Name field and enter the Description in Description field.
3) Click on "Save and manage fields".

Adding Fields
Once you've created a content type, you'll be redirected to the "Manage fields" page where you can create new fields and edit existing ones.When a new content type's created Drupal will add a Body field. This is default functionality, if you don't want to use the field simply delete it.

1) From the "Manage fields" page click on "Add field".
2) From the "Add a new field" drop-down, select "Image",Enter Image into label and click on "Save and continue".
3) Leave the field settings as is for now and click on "Save settings".
4) Now repeat the above steps(1,2,3) to add the Tags field. Click on "Add field", select "Entity reference: field_tags" from "Re-use an existing field" and click on "Save and continue".
In the "Reference type" field-set, check Tags and "Create referenced entities if they don't already exist" under Vocabularies and click on "Save settings".

Create Category Vocabulary
1) Click on Structure, Taxonomy and click on "Add vocabulary".
2) Enter "Category" as the Name and Description in Description field, then click on Save.
3) Enter a few category items by clicking on "Add term".
Once the vocabulary has been created,jump back to the "Manage fields" page and create the Category field.

Create Category Field
1) Go to Structure > Content types and click on "Manage fields" on the Blog row. Then click on "Add field".
2) From the "Add a new field" drop-down, select "Taxonomy term". Enter Category into Name and click on "Save and continue".
3) On the "Fields settings" page, leave "Allowed number of values" limited to 1. We only want to allow a single category to be selected on a blog post. Then click on "Save field settings".
4) In the "Reference type" field-set, select Category under Vocabularies and click on "Save settings".

Configure Category Widget
1) Click on the "Manage form display" tab, then change the widget to "Select list". Scroll to the bottom then click on Save.

Create Blog Post
Now go to Content, "Add content" and click on Blog. Fill out the form and click on "Save and publish".
