03:51	Next, select the Category field on the right-hand side of the screen.
03:57	Default value of the field is Uncategorised.

05:47	Right now, we have only one article. So, we will click on the article Sodium.
05:54	It opens the page with the title: Article Manager: Edit Article.
06:01	I am going to add a line at the beginning of the text:
