category questions

[qureus]

Hi John,

I'm on a roll today with questions and have several on how BlogHarbor handles categories.

1) I list the same article in a couple of categories for the convenience of my readers and I'm wondering what the impact on the stats is. For example, let's say I list an article in 2 categories and a reader clicks on it. If I looked at the category stats, I'm assuming I'd have a hit for each category. What would happen on the page views though? That would still be one view right? Or would it be two?

2) Bubbling: I'm just starting to pay attention to the whole bubbling thing and it's gotten me thinking about rearranging my categories to have some nested subcategories. I think it might simply some of my listing an article in multiple categories. Here's my question though. Can I take my existing categories and just move some of them under others? And if I do, will all the content go with them? I don't want to mess up what I've already done.

Thanks for your help!

No, you would not have a hit - a page view - for each category, you would only have one for the category which the user accessed.

Yes, you can. This page has a bit of info on that:

Yes, the content will go with it.
