Using Drupal 5 and 6
- Go to Administer and choose Aggregator
- Click on the Add Category tab.
- Add a title to the category, then a description.
Using Drupal 7
- Navigate to the Feed Aggregator page (admin/config/services/aggregator)
- Click on the Add Category link.
The module will create a block for each category. To place the block on your page, navigate to the Blocks page and choose a region in which to display the block.
Now every time you add a feed, you can select a category which the items will automatically appear under. Alternatively, you can tag individual items in your aggregator to appear in a category.

Empty categories list under each post
I'm using Drupal 6.19, and I've just started using the code Aggregate module (which is great, thanks). Just noticed a minor gripe though: I added a category, and then assigned a feed to it, and then deleted it (the category), and now when I access that feed, all the items have their little meta div at the bottom (class="feed-item-categories"), which says "Categories:", but doesn't have anything listed.
Is there a way to stop this displaying if there are no categories for the item? Obviously I can do this in CSS (#aggregator .feed-item-categories {display: none;}), but this is a horrible workaround, and would not work if you did want to display categories for some items.
Purging Categories
Not sure if this is the right place to post but I have a small issue with the aggregator module and the use of categories. I have set rss feeds to only display the last 8 weeks feeds. One thing I notice is that even though old feeds are removed, the links to them in categories does not appear to be. I am using Drupal 6.22.
This is resulting in the database swelling to a huge size now.
Is there any way of deleting these old feed links in the categories.
