 * Please can you point me in the direction of an explanation of the differences?
   Also – having set up my own categories, there is something in the list that is
   just a number. What is this and why it it there? I’m new at WordPress and still
   trying to find my way around – so sorry if this is a stupid question.
 * Thanks, Sue
