  Hi, I’ve started a new blog (http://jaimemorenotejada.wordpress.com/) and I’ve reblogged something from another blog I run (www.akaneindie.com). I’ve read that I can add categories to reblogged posts, but when I try to do that I only get a blank post form to be edited. The post appears under “uncategorized” and I don’t seem to be able to change that. Any suggestions? Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’ve read that I can add categories to reblogged posts […]

  Where did you read that?

  Here: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/reblogging-is-back/

  “If you like, you can add categories or tags to the post. Reblogs show up under Posts → All Posts in your dashboard, and they can be edited the same way you edit your own posts.”

  If I understand well, the content can’t be edited but the tags and categories can?

  Have you tried adding tags and categories just like you would for a regular post?

  And I believe you are correct: you can add tags /categories to the post that features the other post (but not to the original post itself).
