[wp-hackers] Making categories linkable in WP 2.1

[R.J. Kaplan]

Hi,
I know this has been covered here before, but I was wondering if any  
simple way of making categories 'linkable' in WordPress 2.1 was  
added, or do i still need to manually type in the category name in  
the blogroll section the first time, for them to show in the list  
there? I find this pretty confusing, and I want to set up a large  
number of categories with both links and posts.
thanks in advance,
