Hi Lynne
Thank you for this training - I really appreciate it. Up til now I have not understood the function of categories and tags (blush) and have done exactly what you did initially. More backtracking for me on my site, all part of the learning process :-)
Thank you again.
Blessings
Louise

Loved this training Lynne! I've been wanting to add categories but didn't know how to do it properly. Your training is very simple and easy to follow. I've just gone through my blogs and categorised them and added the category widget to my side bar.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you again, Lynne.
I figured out the categories for myself but didn't pay much attention to permalinks, so will check that.
And I deffinitely need to read your post on tags now :)

Thank you for the training. I have a question about the upgrade to pro version that comes up. Do you upgrade to pro?

Which upgrade to pro? No I am not upgraded to pro on anything. Premium on WA yes :) But nothing else that I can think of.

It showed up on the screen shot in your training video. At the bottom. My whole blog posts show up and not just the headings and a little bit, I was wondering if it needed to be upgraded to pro version to get that. Make sense?
