Howdy Genevieve! Would you like to join us? (I thought about asking you but wasn't sure if it would be too overwhelming given your existing blogs and the fact that you are group blogging on Sarsparilla already...) Hi Hoi - non-librarians who blog? I think there are millions :) Would you like to contribute to our blog as well? Thanks Corey, we will investigate! :) Where is your blog?

With a little editing of the template you can get the same result without needing to have one post in all the categories. We had this similar issue with a WordPress Blog I worked on while I was working in the Library. The link below is to information about the template tag that creates the category list. http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/list_cats Hope this helps, I look forward to making this blog one of the many in my aggregator. -Corey Hi Librarian Kathryn,

Same person as Sirexkat here. Thanks for your compliment Hoi. Yes, I understand about the categories. we only have one "real" post, and I assigned it all categories so that we could see them on the sidebar. The sidebar only shows categories that have a post assigned. Word Press claims to have subcategories, but they are not quite what librarians would call subcategories. They have a rather dysfunctional parent/child relationship. Will keep working on them...watch this space. (BTW we welcome "make it better" feedback like yours) Hi. Same person as Sirexkat here.

However, as a user, I find that the 'Categories' quite hard to use, as in they are referring to the same post. Anyway, thanks for setting this up. Cheers.
