 * Oops! Found the setting for contributor categories and discovered that I had 
   misunderstood something – please forget about this part:
 * > In regard to filtering data it is also problematic that the text entered in
   > the field “Title” on the form a contributor fills out in order to place a new
   > marker on the map, automatically creates a new category. Contributors will 
   > create individual titles and most likely write a headline. So you could end
   > up with an endless number of categories each containing only one post.
   > I believe contributors should be able to write a headline of their own choice
   > when posting/adding a marker. But the headline should not generate a category.
   > A valueable addition to the form contributors fill out would be a field with
   > a menu that lets contributors choose between a limited number of admin-generated
   > categories. That would enable a filtering of data and improve the usability
   > and scalability of Sightings.
