 * Hello again,
 * I can’t seem to figure out how to create a custom menu using categories. The 
   custom menu functionality only seems to allow you to create custom menus from
   Pages.
 * I noticed you used categories for your demo site, such as here:

 * Thanks for any help!

 * WordPress hides certain menu items by default. When you’re in the Edit Menus 
   tab, you can click on the tab in the upper-right corner marked “Screen Options”
   and there will be more options for menu items, including Categories. See [WordPress Menu User Guide](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide)
   for more details.

 * Thanks Stephencottontail!
 * It’s been a couple of years since I’ve used WP – rusty!
