Well I made a working categories menu, but I don't have the same template as you so I don't know if what I did will work here...feel free to peek at my source code and see if you can figure it out from there.

*edit* well I see edit and delete buttons here, and all my posts have them as well, check your comment settings? *shrug*

Test

Weird... I don't have those links showing for me. I can't even edit my own comments.

Oh... and... re: your category list... did you create that 'manually'? ie. you just created the menu item and url's yourself? (as opposed to an automated function using the <% category %> code stuff)

Stranger still... I just noticed that the edit-delete coding IS there in my code... it just doesn't show up.... UNLESS I *preview* a comment I'm making... then in the preview page, the edit-delete buttons appear...but on ly in the preview page. Once I go to the regular blog, the links are gone.

My guess is I must have somehow broken my template coding... I dunno.

OK, scratch that idea too... I just put back in the default code for the template, and the links still don't show for me.

Yep I created it all myself, I didn't use any of the back end functions(as Styles called them) because I couldn't figure out how to.
Odd that you can't edit, I can..here and on my own blog...*scratches head*

well your comments on my blog have edit/delete links, at least I can see them, and all my comments here do...must be something with your user settings. I'm kinda clueless too.

I think it's all to do with the thing not really recognising us as logged in . I can't do any of those things either and none of my links to friends work unless I type them in manually in the browser then they do of course. That's even if I log in a zillion times.

IT's hit and miss for me... About 50 percent of the time i can edit or delete comments i leave else where. I think it is just as the above post states. The code is brand new and buggy and will have to be bloggified for a bit before we see and end to all the gremilns.
Keep on Smiling :)

From your 'dashboard' (the first page you get when you go to www.efx2blogs.com and sign in) I went to my blogs (clicked the link where it said the name of my blog) -> Entries -> Entry Categories, and there it has an area to create categories.

I entered all my categories that way as well BUT...my template doesn't have a categories function(some seem to though) so it didn't automaticaly give me a categories menu on my blog. I got it sorted out in the end :)

In your template code, down the bottom, there's a list of the boxes that appear in your side menu. The code to add the categories menu is:

< h2 >Categories< /h2 >
< Categories >< a href='<%CategoryURL%>' ><%Category%>< /a >< br > < /Categories >

(without the spaces in the tags)

Thank you, that's what I needed. :)

Yawp yawp yawp. :D
