  Hi there,

  The way that WordPress works, all posts must be assigned a category. i.e. it’s not possible to publish a blog post with zero categories. Because of this, by default the category of “Uncategorized” is assigned to any post without a category.

  I see you added a category to the only post you have on your site, but if you want to remove “uncategorized” from your list of options, you can set a different default category instead. See: https://wordpress.com/support/posts/categories/#assigning-default-category

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
