Where is the Second Category?
-
I have finally typed my second post and I am very disappointed with the results. I typed a second category, saved it and yet, my second post is under the first category. Here is the link:

What happened to the second category? When I am checking for it under categories, I am seeing it separately from the first category.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We need to know the categories and how you added them. I see that under http://specialspice.wordpress.com/category/thoughts-on-blogging/ as a category.

Raincoaster, I think I know what I did wrong. I added in the category by clicking on the category section, typing it in and expecting the post to fall under it. I believe that while in Post editor, there is a section in the extreme right bottom corner for the blogger to select. I didnt realise that you were supposed to do this. I thought by going into the Category section, typing the name and clicking on Apply was enough………

You can edit your post and add an additional category via the Categories Module and then click “Update”. -
Timethief thanks for the useful tips! I am pleased to say that I played around with the post and managed to figure out what I did wrong!
I hope you dont mind but I have another question. Once you have two separate categories, are you supposed to see the first category when you scroll down to the bottom of the second category? Here is the link:

If you add two Categories by selecting them in the Categories Module and then click “update” both categories will appear at the end of your post.

When you have the post open in the editor you can select more that one Category to assign to the post. If you assign two categories to the post than after you publish the post two categories will appear at the bottom of the post. If you assign three categories then three will appear and so on.
