 * Hi,
 * I’m new to this and find some things to be confusing, so if you can help that
   will be very much appreciated.
 * I have tried creating new categories. The problem I have is that they don’t show
   up in the category box on my home page even though they show as being added.
 * How do I fix this please.
 * Also I would like to set up different emails and forwar them to my main outlook
   express email, how do I do this please. Thanks for your help.
    Cheers Pam

 * Categories are not shown in the categories listing in the sidebar until they’re
   associated with specific posts. In other words, you can go to the Manage Categories
   section of your dashboard and add a ton of categories, but until you edit or 
   write a post and use the categories control box to the right of the edit window
   and check the boxes or add new categories right there that apply to that post
   and then save it, they won’t show up in the categories listing. The categories
   listing exists solely to link users to specific posts associated with specific
   categories.
 * As far as forwarding your email, I’m not sure what you mean. Are you talking 
   about having a separate contact form or posted email address on your blog for
   different things, or are you talking about how to use Outlook for multiple accounts?
 * By the way, except for the home page, none of your links across the top of your
   page work.
