Are you using WordPress 2.5 for your website, and you can’t find the Category ID numbers? They’re still there, if you know where to look.
I’ve written a complete article about this at my Sites that Soar! website. You’ll see more screenshots there to make the solutions simple.
In a nutshell, here’s one way to [...]

Tags are great, but they can be a big headache in WordPress. For one thing, they’re practically set in stone once you’ve entered them.
So, let’s say that you threw tags onto your posts and–over a dozen posts later–realized that the tag would look better as ‘Portsmouth NH’ not ‘portsmouth nh’.

Since one of my websites has over 250 articles, navigation becomes a big issue with a new site design.
And, since WordPress was created as blogging software, it organizes sites by date, or by date within a category. It wasn’t planned as a content management system (CMS).
