I like to define all my categories first, however there is a way to display categories without putting an article in each one, you just change up the code in the template. Thanks for sharing!

I was led here from the google SERP (query: organize categories internet marketing blog) I agree with the points you make, and would like to introduce another, related to the category evolution on new blogs. I've optimized client's blogs using wordpress.org in the past, first devising an optimization strategy which in part includes isolating kwds to target and creating a hierarchal category schema up front. This ofcourse defines the blog's message and allows for appropriate kw saturating of category descriptions, etc. Because categories don't appear until a post is assigned them, I've added pre-written, kw saturated posts with appropriate title tags, etc, and added them all at once, assigning them to categories appropriately.This works great, but can also work to 'box things in' a bit, or worst case, creates a bit of a bloated category list. Are you a proponent of predefining categories in this manner? Or do you, for accuracy, define and assign categories 'as you go?'
