Understanding WordPress Admin Panel- Categories

Every blog post you write should belong to a category. This way you will have all your blog posts categoriezed.
All the categories are shown to the right or left (based on the wordpress theme you selected). Your blog should not have many categories. This will confuse your readers. And also you don’t have to add all your categories at this very moment. You can add a couple and then as your number of blog posts increases you will get more ideas for categories.

Under ‘Manage’, click ‘Categories’.
Every blog has a category called ‘Uncategorized’. This is the default category. If you don’t allocate a category for a blog post then it automatically belongs to this ‘Uncategorized’ category. The first step is to click ‘Edit’ and give this ‘Uncategorized’ category a more meaningful name. Basically you are defining your default category here.
To add a new category click ‘add new’ and add your new category.

Blogroll is the links to other blogs you like and visit. You don’t necessarily have to have this. You can either choose to add your favorite links or not to add your links.

Click ‘Blogroll’ under ‘Manage’.
If you choose not to add any links then delete the existing links.
If you choose to add links then first edit the existing links and change them to yours. After you have edited existing links, to add a new link click ‘Add Link’.
