just wanted to add that from my persepctive (occasional gardener) I believe it's perfectly fine -- esp. for noobs -- to just leave out categories entirely. One the one hand, it may not be behaviour that we should encourage, but on the other hand, I seriously don't think there's any harm done: It's a lot easier to work with an uncategorized article than one which has been haphazardly shoved into an ill-fitting one (and I'm not blaming people one bit, either -- that category stuff *is* confusing!), because those will show up on the 'uncategorized pages' list, which I know gardeners go through once in a while. (Which...is your point :>)

But anyway, looking forward to learn about the restructure!
