Renaming a category or photo album

Categories have two names — a public label and an internal name.

·Name: The category's name is derived from the title you give it. It cannot be changed because it is part of the URL for the category.  
·Public Label: This is the name that readers see when they view your blog. To change the public label for the category, enter a new name in the Public Label field and click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.  


Permissions

There are two checkboxes related to permissions — Inherit parent permissions and Restrict views. These options control which readers are able to view and post to the new category.
