News and blog

Following on with our plan, we're now going to create the news and blog categories, as children of the two respective sections containeris. Doing this is easy.

Begin by going to the page for one of your sections containers, and clicking the add child categoryi link. On the node form page, enter news as the title of the node. That's all you need to fill in: the container and parenti of the category have already been filled in for you, and all the other category-related settings are simply inherited from the sections container.

In fact, you don't even have to enter any body text for your category (but you can if you want). With the category and container node types, the body field is optional: when you consider the presence of such things as hidden containeris and free tagging categories, the reasoning behind this becomes clear.

Once you've submitted your news category, go to the page for your other sections container, and repeat the process, this time calling your child category blog. Submit the blog category.

The news and blog categories are listed as children of articles, even though the hidden sections containers are actually in between.

Now, go to the articles page. You should see a menu structure, a table of contents, and navigation links that reflect the category hierarchyi that you've just created - except that the hidden containers are ignored. Well done - the foundations of your site's structure are now in place.
