Understanding categories

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have created a list of categories and have a side bar widget which lists them. Each individual post also has “posted by haynesbe ‘category’ at the top under the post title. If it is in my “uncategorized” category and I click on “uncategorized” under my post title, a page appears with all of my uncategorized posts. If I have assigned a category and I click on it (example Art) I am not directed to all of my posts in the Art category but instead to some general wordpress page on art blogs. Is there a way to set it up so the category listed under the post title only directs internally as “uncategorized” does?

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