Categories help you to file your posts and comments into specific discussion threads. Make sure to file your post under one or more categories or create a new category for your post. There are two ways to create new categories:
1) You can add a category under the “categories” menu on the right hand side of the new post window when before you publish a new post. NOTE: you can not create a subcategory using this option
2) You can create new categories and subcategories through the Dashboard. Go to:
Dashboard>Manage>Categories>Add New
Add a new category.
To make it a subcategory, select a category parent.
The advantages to using the Category menu of the Dashboard are that you do not have to create a post to create a new category and you can create subcategories.
