Why do I have one category only, "Uncategorized"?

  • Add topic to favorites

  Is it because I am using a free blog? Do I need to pay to be able to add categories?

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

  No, it’s because you haven’t created any categories. They don’t exist till you create them. And once you’ve created them they don’t display until there is at least one post in the category.

  Have you gone through http://learn.wordpress.com yet?

  Thanks for helping – I haven’t gone through learn. wordpress yet. Just mucking around in my first 24 hours with this!
