Choosing categories

Whenever you create a post, be sure to categorize it under your own name, so that later, when somebody thinks, "Where's that wonderful/bewildering post of X's," they can click on X's name and readily find the post.

But also categorize your post under whatever other categories are relevant.

Carolyn appropriately categorized "Epistemology, Methodology, and Method in Ethnography" in the "methods and methodology" category but forgot to categorize it under her own name, as well. (Don't worry, C; I've gone into the site & already made that change.) Now anyone looking for methods & methodology posts will find hers; and anyone looking for Carolyn's posts will also see it.

Remember that to create multiple categories, you must first save a draft of your post, and then under "primary category" you'll see a link to "multiple categories." There you'll be able to choose additional categories; click on the arrow to move them into the right-hand box; save your category choices; and then save your entry again.

Thanks, Becky. I might have thought of it eventually!
