Is there a way to edit the name of a publishing category once it's created? There's a "New Category..." link, but not a "Edit" button where if I want to change the name of the category, or fix a typo...

I was just going to ask how to DELETE a libsyn blog category.

I created a few hacks at categories while getting The Pilotcast's seperate audio and video feeds working. Now I want to delete the ones we won't use so we don't accidently have posts in an orphan category.

Is there a way to delete the category?

I suspect it takes a SQL command in the underlying database.

Well, according to the staff, they're currently revamping the interface for handling posts and things, so hopefully that'll create some new ways to manipulate the data better. Here's hoping! If you need beta-testers, let me know. :)

I can see my question was raised earlier, albeit a while back.

PLEASE tell me I can delete a category once I've created it.

Also, I noticed that categories appear in alphabetical order on the blog, but not within the category drop-down box. Are these both items still "under development"?

hello
unfortunately categories can not be deleted at the moment, nor can the order they appear on the blog page be altered.
sorry, but these features are still on the 'to be developed' shelf

Sort of related but not totally, I find that tags are more convenient to search content for stuff (as I normally use on wordpress) and since I'm able to put tags on each episode I was wondering how I could put a tag cloud on my site? I found a site called zoomclouds but it wouldn't quite work the way I wanted it to (all search results would go to their site which I would think might confuse people trying to find stuff on my show) If anyone knows how to do this I would appreciate a response :)

Still can't delete categories 5 months later? PLEASE add this ASAP if at all possible. ths is pretty basic stuff, I would think. :)

Thanks.

Thanks Michael, If I sent you a small list of categories to have removed on my account, could you guys do it manually for me? (there are no posts on the dead categories)

Thanks,

-Mark

Hello Mark,

Sure-- send an email to support@libsyn.com and list your account name and the categories you'd like to remove-- if there are no posts currently released under those categories, it should be easy for our developers to delete them.

Thanks for your patience,

Mike

so is there a way to do a category cloud or list your categories on your site so that people can click on them and see what podcasts are labelled by what category?

Hello,

If you have included the [[categories]] module in your account's 'blog page html' window, then each category you have created will be visible on your Libsyn blog page's side bar. Then a listener could click a category title to see a list of all episodes released under that specific category.

Here's a link for more info:

http://docs.libsyn.com/blog_modules

Please email support@libsyn.com if you have any other questions.

Thank you,

Mike
