  How do I add another category to my category cloud widget?

  I have Hispanic, Quick Easy Meals, and I want to add Salads.

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

  Hi there,

  A category will only appear in the widget if you have published posts in that category. So the best way to add a category is to first create a post, and then create the new category from within the post editor.

  Thanks. That worked. I have “uncategory” that shows up in the category cloud widget. I can’t seem to delete that. Is that a default until one assigns a category to the post?

  That would be your default category, yes – the default category gets assigned to new posts automatically if you don’t set a category.

  You can change which category on your site is the default one at My Site ->Manage ->Settings ->Writing. Once “Uncategorized” is no longer the default, you’ll be able to delete it entirely.
