  I realized some of my categories are superfluous, but don’t know if it’s possible to delete them.

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

  It’s possible to delete Categories. The Posts -> Categories page in your dashboard displays all your categories and shows the name, description, and number of posts belonging to each category. If you move your mouse over a category a set of options will appear, allowing you to edit, quick-edit, or delete that category: http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#managing-categories

  Thank you.

  This was very helpful. It is always reassuring to read I am not alone in being confused! The question is was the problem with my comprehension or should be a bit psychic?

  Thanks again and all the best!
