Site Content Management, Categories (Taxonomy)

This is our first introduction to taxonomy which is another word for 'categories' ie. the 'categories' link.

Select Administer > Content management > Categories.

Note: there are no categories at the moment.

Select > Administer > Content management > Image Galleries.

Select > Administer > Content management > Categories.

Note: after we clicked "Image Galleries", the "Image Galleries" category is created. Basically it is just a grouping or category header. Now we create the topics. There are 2 ways to create the Image Galleries topics via:-

(2) Content management > Categories > add terms

Select Administer > Content management > Image galleries > Add gallery
