 In fact, we should consider displaying all categories on both the write
 post/page as well as on the bookmarks add screen. There is really no
 reason to prevent a category from containing both posts and links, and it
 would give potential to some interesting mashups and plugins and such.

 Example: I think it would be neat if my added Bookmarks could be shoved
 into my posts loop, so that links I add could show up as one-liners
 between posts. Then I could categorize them and such. Kind of like asides,
 but with just links, no real post info required.

 As it stands now, blocking categories with links from appearing on the
 post screen and blocking categories with posts from appearing on the links
 screen causes more confusion than it prevents.

 There will, of course, be complaining as people with loads of categories
 suddenly see all them in places they were not expecting, but that will be
 limited.
