Managing Categories of Blog Posts

After you add some messages to your blog, you can sort them by subjects they discuss. These subjects are called categories. See below to learn how to create and manage categories.

To add a category:

1. In the Blog module, click the Categories tab.
2. Click Add New Category.
3. On the Main Properties tab, enter a name of the new category in the Name field.
4. From the Position in list list, select under which number the category should appear on the page.
5. If you want to provide a short description of the category, click the Description tab and enter any text of your choice.
6. Click OK.

To edit a category:

1. In the Blog module, click the Categories tab.
2. On the Categories tab, click the Edit icon beside the category you want to edit.
3. Edit the needed category parameters.
4. Click OK.

Changing the order in which categories are listed on the page

You can change the order in which categories appear in the Categories list by moving particular categories up and down in the list.

To move a category up or down in the Categories list, click an upward or a downward arrow against the category name. One click on the icon moves the category one position up or down respectively.

For categories which have reached the topmost or the bottom position of the list, the upward or downward arrows are not displayed, correspondingly.

To remove a category:

1. In the Blog module, click the Categories tab.
2. On the Categories tab, select a category you want to remove.
3. Click Remove Selected.

Note: After a category is removed, all posts which have been assigned to it remain in the blog.
