More on how to use “categories”

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.
