 * I just set up WordPress and I set up some categories. Then I posted something,
   but I can’t figure out how to categorize that post. It just goes into the default“
   uncategorized” category.
 * How do you categorize posts?
 * Thanks.

 * Which version of WP?
    If you created additional categories they should be visible
   in the Write > Write Post panel on the right side. In WP 2.x you have to clcik
   on the + next to catgeories to see the list, then check the box(es).

 * When you’re on the Write Post screen, to the right you should see some (assuming
   version 2.0 or better) blue bars with + or – on their right edges. One of those
   bars will be the category list. If it’s collapsed you’ll see the +. Click it 
   and a list of your cats should show. Select that before you save/publish – also
   works when editing.
