Hi Garvin

Thanks for taking this serious. Of course I can only speak for the not very huge number of users on my blog. They are a lazy pack and for them i can truly say they dont bother to use it, as it is now. Every user will have his own opinion, but I think, that i might help to encourage users ...

i can use it for a single selectin drop down, but nobody does it, which is the point. maybe because the default choice is 'No Category' instead of 'General'. anyway, heres the screenshot:

ok, thanks.
that would be a way.

screenshot as soon, as i have the system running again, just deleted my users table in the database:(
