 * Hi Rachel!
 * Great Plugin here! 🙂
 * This must be a quite easy question, but I could not find any answer searching
   arround here.
 * I need a new post type and I created it, named Events. The problem is that I 
   need to create event categories or types, but I cannot find the way to create
   this and put it inside the Events menu in order to be able to create new categories.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks!

 * It sounds like you’re wanting [regular ole’ taxonomies](http://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies).
   I’m actually working on a taxonomy manager for the next version of CPT-onomies
   but if you need them now, you’re going to have to [register them yourself](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy)
   or find a plugin to do it.
 * If you google ‘wordpress taxonomy’, you’ll find tons of information on how to
   set them up.

 * Ok,
 * I was starting to believe I am stupid because I could not find this option haha
 * I will use another plugin that already has this option, but I promise to keep
   an eye on yours, I like it 😉
 * Thanks
