Up above is a page you will find under "Settings" and then "Writing"(highlighted Yellow).

As you may already know, it really isn't a good idea to leave a post "Uncategorized". So each time we write an article we select the category we want it under.

What if most your articles are currently under a specific category?

The above page is just for that! Plus a cool little addition of having Smileys "Emoticons" displayed in your comments section.

(Note)

After reading several websites, and comments, I have concluded to not check off "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically"

Webmaster tools says that my website has no html errors, so I am fine by that. lol

As for post format. I use standard. If you don't know what it is and it's set to standard. Leave it. (Your pages will be displayed differently if you change this)
