Carolyn, later:
Having thought about this some more, and wrestled with the tiresome 
Yah formatting, I have decided to delete some of the extra categories 
I created this morning.

There is now just one field to change 'Current categories' - which is 
the current old definition in most cases. Just click on 'Edit' to the 
right of the entry you want to change.

When you update an entry to reflect the type of posts you think 
should go in a category, could you be sure to also note what *should 
not* go in, especially when easy mistakes could be made.

So far, I have only created two DBs, one for section 1.1 Meta themes 
and another for section 1.2 Literary analysis. We need to add further 
DBs for each chunk of the category list - breaking it up to keep the 
DBs manageable. The list might be:

1.3-1.12 (Books & predictions)
2.1 & 2.2 MoM Employees/OOP members
2.3/2.4 Hogwarts staff
2.5 - 2.9 Hogwarts, Durmstrang & Beauxbatons pupils
2.10 - 2.13 DEs, Other Wizards, Historical characters, Muggles
2.14 - 2.17 Beasts, Beings, Ghosts, SHIPping
3.1- 3.7 WW History, Econ/Pol, Law, Health, Bloodlines, Quidditch, 
Culture
3.8 - 3.10 Magic, Dark Arts, Magic Travel
3.11 - 3.15 Personal Poss, Magic plants, Food, Toys, Geography
3.16 - 3.17 Hogwarts school, WW education
4.1.1 - 4.1.4 Other topics

It is quite a big job to do this, so anyone who wants to help out, 
please have a go. It is very easy to create tables - just follow the 
format for the two I have already done.
