I started with a few categories, but soon they added up to a real mess. Here is how you can structure your dasBlog posts with nested categories:

If you post via the web frontend, there is a inputbox for new categories to create. Type in there your nested category name like so: News|Political or News|Financial. Please note the | character to be used as the category hierarchy delimiter.

To get them all displayed, each category must contain at least one post. So if you have a nested category named Financial|News, both should contain one post.

That means: you also need a category named only Financial with one post in addition to Financial|News with one post. It might be preferable to add both categories Financial (main) and Financial|News (sub) to your entries so that they show up under the Financial category view as well as the Financial|News category view.

However, since many RSS Aggregators only display the first category in their UI, this may not have the desired result (example: RSSBandit would only display Financial, and not Financial and Financial|News.

thanks to omar for the faq.

I checked this with RSSBandit, the newer version (1.2.0.112) seems to display both (main, sub) categories correct.

All i have to do now is to reorganize my categories, which is very annoing with the current handling of categories in dasBlog. If there is any better way than going through all my posts changing categories and update, let me know...
