 * Hmm… Thanks alchymyth. To be honest, this doesn’t look very familiar to me. Would
   this really achieve what I’m looking for, but in a round-about way?
 * I’m open to any other suggestions. I’ve got a feeling the solution is probably
   a simple one (slight modification of existing code?).

 * Also: adding a custom field option for Links might help do the trick, but wading
   through Google search results hasn’t turned up much (most results are about using
   links in posts’s custom fields).

 * I think you’re probably right about the need to hack the admin panel page, but
   I admit, that looks a little more intimidating. Not sure if simply copying/pasting
   the right syntax won’t mess with the database in unexpected/damaging ways.
 * Yeah, I’ve been looking for a plugin, but I’m surprised nothing has turned up
   after a day’s worth of searching. I just searched again, and found this:
 * [http://nerdlife.net/custom-taxonomies/](http://nerdlife.net/custom-taxonomies/)
 * Last updated in Feb 2010. A the time of this posting (for the benefit of future
   researchers), this seems fairly recent, so I’ll give that a shot. It may even
   have a built-in mechanism to do what I’ve been originally trying to accomplish.
   We’ll see. Thanks for your guidance on this!
 * **UPDATE: ** Scratch that. Two users report this plugin is presently not compatible
   with WP 3.01 (most recent version). Back to square one.

 * Hmm… let me tinker with this some more, then!
 * Though, I’m curious about how this would work. While navigating the Admin Panel
   in WP 3.01, I can see under “Link Categories” that I can create as many link 
   categories as I need. But there doesn’t appear to be an obvious way to assign
   where in the hierarchy each link category should go.
 * How would one go about assigning link categories to their intended locations 
   on the tree?

 * Thanks for responding!
 * Just to be clear, I’m wanting to organize **link** categories, not **post** categories(
   I’ve often seen **wp_list_bookmarks()** recommended instead, but that still doesn’t
   seem to offer the result I’m looking for).
 * I went ahead & tried using the **wp_list_categories()** template tag anyway, 
   just to see if it’d work. Unfortunately, even after making the changes on my 
   page template & uploading the file onto the server, my page behaved as though
   nothing had been changed.

 * Under your themes folder, there should be either a header.php or the main default
   file (I can’t recall the name of it at the moment). In that file, you’ll find
   the html “head” tag. I’d stick it in there.

 * You may have a point.
 * The ability to select from the most commonly used tags is a convenience, but 
   I’m also finding it makes users lazy (they just keep selecting from the same 
   tags over and over when there are others that are more apt to their topic).
 * Perhaps there’s a better solution than the one I’m describing, or I just have
   to get used to the idea of having multiple tags describe the same concept, or
   duplicate tags (with an extra “s” at the end, different capitalization, misspellings,
   etc).

 * You’re in luck… I found a bit of code that does this (not a plugin), and it’s
   designed to do precisely what you ask. Courtesy of a [commenter on a WordPress development site](http://www.problogdesign.com/wordpress/how-to-make-a-wordpress-events-list/#comment-14359):
 * > ..add this to your functions.php file: (Just replace the 17 with the category
   > ID of [category to be excluded]). That will keep it out of the feed, search
   > results, and homepage.
   >     ```
   >     <?php
   >     function eventsFilter($query) {
   >     if ($query->is_feed || $query->is_home || $query->is_search) {
   >     $query->set(‘cat’,'-17′);
   >     }
   >     return $query;
   >     }
   >     add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’,'eventsFilter’);
   >     ?>
   >     ```

 * Just as an FYI, I had to omit the opening and closing PHP tags in the above code
   and slip what was left between the existing PHP tags in the functions.php file
   to get it to work.
