Hour 7. Creating Categories

Categories are a fantastic way to enhance your log entries. They allow you to organize your entries under one specific heading (or several headings!), and automatically archive them using these headings.

Categorizing entries can be extremely helpful for the weblogger who wants to keep things organized, or for a professional Web site using Movable Type to keep track of data for specific departments. What's more, you can ping other sites related to entries in a given category rather than pinging sites based on general entries.

In this hour you'll learn to

• Assign categories in Movable Type

• Configure categories

• Use multiple categories

To gain control over categories, you'll begin by learning what features Movable Type offers to help you create and configure categories.
