Admin > content management > Categories
Add a new vocabulary here, select blog as type, then ad your terms. Everytime you create a blog, there your terms should be listed.

Admin > site bulding > menu
Create a new menu here, name it after your term, then enter URL of your term.
Ex: taxonomy/term/x

thanks, i tried this, i created a vacabulary 'blogcat' and terms cat1, ... cat5. but when i tried to link a menu, it asked a path. however, there is no path for blogcat, but only a path for cat1, cat 2 ... which are term/1, term/2...i wanted a blogcat on the menu and cat1, cat2...as subcategories, how do i do it?

My approach:
Download and enable DHTML Menu module.
Create blogcat menu, enter '' for the path
Create your other menus and enter the appropiate URL and save it under blogcat.
Go to admin > site configuration > DHTML menu and set blogcat as a menu block.
The reason you enter '' as the path for blogcat is because when you click on it, it expands it, it wont take you nowhere, it will just display the subcategories.

Another approach is to use the category.module.

Hope this helps
