  Cheers, how do I go about editing categories? Note, editing, not adding or removing.

  Basically I made a mistake with unnecessary capitalization and now I can’t seem to correct it. Since I couldn’t delete the category I tried making a new one with the correct capitalization but it won’t let me, saying it already exists since it is in fact the same spelling…

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

  Cheers!

  It took me a minute to find it, ’cause it was buried in a rollover menu I only rolled over by chance, but I found where you can edit the categories’ names in the dashboard ([yourdomain].wordpress.com/wp-admin/).

  Roll over ‘Posts’ in the sidebar and choose ‘Categories.’ (Screenshot!)
  Roll over the category with the issue and choose either ‘Edit’ or ‘Quick Edit.’ (Screenshot!)
  Fix the capitalization or anything else you want to change, and boom! Better categories! (Screenshot!)
