Hmm, I guess I am not getting what you mean by "how to use the categories?" ... do u mean how to use it in the modx document? or how to use it on blog? i.e. displaying in sidebar and a link to page on which only specific category posts listed.

I am sorry, I was just trying to imply that I look forward to future articles.

At the moment I have not thought about how to use the categories. The way I would think of using them, right off the top of my head, would be to use the tv together with ditto to ’filter’ the categories as well as creating links to the categories.

I am new to MODx. At the moment I am at the point where this is starting to make sense in theory but don’t have enough hands on experience to understand all mechanics. These articles are great resources. Thanks.
