I did all the steps you wrote here Matthias, but I have the same problem as Ali.
When I add a new post, there is no option to select a category.

Categories are replaced with teh taxnomeny, add the Tag to your Blog Entry and it should worked.  The existing tags on the taxenomie are shown if you started to write your tag.

 This might seem like a silly question... If this is the case, why then is there a "Categories" blog part/module on the page... in addition to the Tags blog part/module?

This all seems a bit confusing. I'm in the same boat. I am tiring create categories for my blogs. Can someone please do a step by step using the DNN Blog v5.00.00.

Thank you for your help.

@Chris,

1.On taxonomy create a new List eg. names BlogCategories
2.Click the edit button on the newly created taxonomy list then use the 'Add New Term' button to populate the list

3.Go to Blog Settings (Manage / ControlPanel )
4.Set the Category Vocabulary Root to the Tagonomy List you want to use (eg. to BlogCategories)

The categories blog part lists the used categories, just like the tags module lists the used tags.

 Bill,

Thank you for your assistance. I have follow the above steps, however when I go to the blog settings/control panel. The Category Vocabulary Root dropdown does not show any options to select. By default, the dropdown says "None Specified" with no other options.  And yes, I did create BlogCategories in taxonomy. 

Any suggestions?
