These link categories are separate from the post categories used for posts. • Each link in wordpress is associated with one or more link categories. This allows links to be grouped with others of similar content. • To add a new link category type in a name, this is the name that will appear on the site. • You can type a slug or WordPress will create one for you. This is the URL friendly version of the name and it contains lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. This slug must be unique. • The descriptions can be entered but it is optional and is not displayed by default but can be used by some themes. Even if a link category description is not used in your theme, you may still find the description useful to help find a certain category with the search link categories option. • Click the add new link category button after you've entered all the information. This will save the link and add it to the link category table. • The link category table displays all of your link categories by row in alphabetically order. • This table can be configured by clicking the screen options tab at the top of this screen.
