In the Features sidebar of the Write a post screen you can find the option Categories. This option is used to categorize posts. Apart from this categorization, you can also find the options:

• Discussion
• Password-Protect Post
• Post slug
• Post Status
• Post Timestamp
• Post author
• Populate

• Discussion

By checking the box “Allow comments” you can allow other people to comment on the post or not. “Allow pings” makes it possible to easily transfer information between sites.

• Password-Protect Post

With this option you can protect your post with a password. If someone wants to edit the post, the password needs to be filled out first.

• Post slug

The “post slug” is used to form the URL for the post. It is set automatically, based on the title you give the post. You can also set or edit it manually and with that influence the URL that is made. Be careful if you edit this for an existing post, becuase when the URL changes, already existing links to this post will not work anymore.

• Post Status

With the option post status you can set the post as a draft, publish it or publish in private. In the last case nobody else but you can read this post, see My Private Notes.

• Post Timestamp

With this option you can publish your post in the future or in the past by checking the box “Edit timestamp” and setting month, day, year and time.

• Post author

This option can be used to change the post author. For example when a contributor has written a post that must be approved by an editor or administrator. When someone is approving a post the post author can be changed to the person who wrote the post.

• Populate

With this option you can get information about books from amazon. To use this option see the post Insert books - Post populate.
