 * I can’t seem to create categories whether I do it when creating a new post or
   from the Categories menu option. Does anyone have an ideas on what I need to 
   activate or deactivate?

 * Please walk us through what you’re doing with specifics please. Also what browser,
   browser version, OS and security programs are you using.
 * Please remember that you’re the only one who is seeing what you’re seeing. Without
   details, all we can do is guess as to possible solutions.
 * One thing you may want to try is clearing out your browser’s file and cookie 
   cache and trying again. There may be a conflict with the AJAX javascript that
   works that portion of the site.
