  I’m trying to delete a category, as it has gone up with a small spelling mistake in. I’ve read several posts on forums about this, but I’m not able to access categories through my dashboard. They don’t show up there, so I’m afraid that advice is of no help. The only time they do show up is when I am writing a new post, and at that point I can only add, not delete.

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

  Wow – that is brilliant. It takes me to my dashboard, but part I don’t appear to be able to access otherwise.

  Thanks for your help!
