   How can I change the name of a category? I've got some stuff archived, but it says it was posted in the 'wrong' (says 'originally') category? My blogging's getting bogged down trying to organize things properly.

   The blog I need help with is ivegotaproblemblog.wordpress.com.

   Hi there,
   Please see here for editing Categories in your dashboard > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#managing-categories
   I don't know what you mean by "I got some stuff archived. We click "publish" and the software posts automatically to the Archives pages, as well as, posting to the Categoies pages that we assigned to the post. We do nothing.

   Thanks, timethief,
   I guess what I'm struggling with is that posts say they've been posted in Parenting Advice - but I deleted that category, and am trying to just have everything post under What's Your Problem?
   I had hoped to be able to archive various posts under different categories, e.g. Parenting Advice, Career Advice, etc.
   I'll read over the managing categories entry again, and see if I can fix it. Maybe I can move posts to another category.

   I know this seems stupid. Thanks for helping.
