Hi Mathieu and all!

I called them "sub" because they are part of the page which to my mind is a category of the site but all I meant was that just like other pages have parts or categories which are in the page navigation bar and in the site map ("journal" has three: "peer review", "people", "lists"), "home" has two parts... "call for submissions" and "submission guidelines".
Ah, now I understand your understanding :-) .
Really the main column is the content and what is in other columns is
more or less independent of the content of the main column. We have a
couple of types of content right now. The important ones are folders
and pages. Folders can contain other stuff and pages are just plain
content.
So what you called sub-categories are really pages in a folder.

I dont know why I've been putting this off. Maybe I'm scared to mess things up. Sorry if you said this already but where exactly should I put these new categories? On the "research" page itself? In its navigation toolbar?
Just edit
http://cspp.oekonux.org/scientific-committee/website/submission-categories
and create categories as you like. Please try to use short
recognizable tokens and do not use blanks in these tokens.

Mimbo toolbar would be fine, thanks.
This needs to be created still. May be you can do it yourself as a
little trial? Don't worry you can not really destroy something.
1. Login
2. Surf to http://cspp.oekonux.org/
3. Go to the "add new..." tab and select "folder"
4. Wait for the next page
5. In the "Title" field enter "Resources"
6. In the "Description" field enter a description
7. Hit "save"
8. Wait for the next page
9. Go to the "state: private" tab and select "publish"
Now there is a new top level folder called "Resources". You can now
move the new folder to the correct position in the toolbar on
http://cspp.oekonux.org/folder_contents
but since this is a little complicated I can do this also.
