I think that "best practice" for WordPress dictates that pages are to be used as actual <em>webpages</em> within your blog and <em>NOT</em> posts. Therefore, categories are not needed. For example, my "<a href="http://www.corporatedollar.org/corporatedollar-offerings/" rel="nofollow"><strong>services</strong></a>" and "<a href="http://www.corporatedollar.org/subscribe-to-corporatedollarorg/" rel="nofollow"><strong>subscribe</strong></a>" sections (see my navigation bar) were published as pages, not posts because they are permanent, static sections in my blog. Posts are to be used as <em>dynamic, frequently occurring blasts</em> of useful content within a blog. A work around would be to create a post with links to your pages. Categorize that post as "Pages". Not sure if that's helpful or not... John @Mitchell – Good question.

Posts are to be used as dynamic, frequently occurring blasts of useful content within a blog.

A work around would be to create a post with links to your pages. Categorize that post as “Pages”.

Not sure if that’s helpful or not…

I was missing the automatic upgrade plugin. After I got that working, the upgrade was a breeze. Will pages EVER get categories? I have a bunch of stories that don't read much, as they are pages instead of posts. Cheers, Mitch Thanks, John! I was missing the automatic upgrade plugin.

Will pages EVER get categories? I have a bunch of stories that don’t read much, as they are pages instead of posts.

Cheers,

Is it a plugin? How do I find it? Kingdom Geek posted a fix to the Look and Feel of the Thesis control panel inside Wordpress so that it now looks like the one from 2.6.

Haven't moved my main site to wordpress and thesis yet, been using on a test sight for a friend, www.FurysAmerica.com, and I like it. I am a new reader to your blog: Enjoying it!
