# Creating categories???

 * Is there a way to let users make a post and create a category for that post?
 * I was playing with TDO mini forms. But it seems that they can only post to an
   existing category. I would like it setup so they can write a post and then create
   a sub category under a predefined category.
 * For example, If I had a category Birds and I wanted to allow users to post descriptions
   of specific bird types.
    A user could create a post, and create a sub-category
   called Blue jays.

 * I mean to be able to do this from a page, not in the admin.
