Hi Mich,

When you installed tt_news in the EM, did you check or un-check the first
setting: Use "General record storage page"?
If it's checked, tt_news will only grab categories from your GSRP (if you don't
know what this is, write back).  If you un-check it, you can add category
records anywhere (I believe) and tt_news will get them.

HTH,
Joe K.
