Quick Blogcast categories organize blog entries by assigning each entry to a specified topic. Visitors to your site can then see a list of entries related to the particular topic.
The Manage Categories page, in your Quick Blogcast account, lists all categories used in the selected blogcast site. From this page, you can view categories, view entries associated with a category, create a new category, combine categories, delete categories, and update category descriptions.
In the Category list, you can select how many categories you want to display on each page. You can select to display 10, 20, 50, or 100 listings per page. If there is more than one page, you can change pages by selecting a different page from the page number menu.
You can add new categories on the Manage Categories page, or you can add a new category as you are creating a new entry.
NOTE: You cannot use an ampersand (&) in your category name, but you can use a period (.).
