# WordPress Categories HELP please.

 * Hi,
 * Is there an easier way to create categories in WordPress? I sometimes have a 
   list of 20 categories I’d like to create, but I would like a quicker way than
   creating each one individually. Perhaps there is a way to do this with phpmyadmin?
 * Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
 * Kindly,
    John

 * I’d think just typing in a name for the category and hitting Enter is pretty 
   quick, unless I’m missing something.

 * If you are very familiar with PHPmyAdmin, you can enter categories, but it’s 
   more complicated than you might think if you are working with subcategories and
   such. And it takes about the same amount of time to enter them there as it does
   in the WordPress Admin.
 * Since they both work at about the same speed, unless you are very familiar with
   PHPmyAdmin and PHP INSERT commands, then stick to the administration screens.
