This is the "secret" Content Categories feature - it's hidden really because it isn't widely useful and I don't want to confuse site admins with a slightly half-baked feature that doesn't add much value on most sites.
I have enabled it on your site - and test site - so you can experiment with it.
You will now see a Content Categories option in the Content menu of the site. In here you can define the categories, and then assign pages to suitable categories.
You then use the Filtered Item List Categories includelet to create the filters for your content.
I'd be interested in your feedback on the Categories feature - e.g., how could it be made more useful across the entire site. Useful enough to enable the feature for everyone!
(e.g., maybe Filtered Item List could somehow incorporate content from other apps, such as the photo album, and allow you to preview/filter on that too, rather than just content items)
Thanks!

Thanks for this Joe. I can now add categories and I have the Filtered Item List Categories includelet. What I don't see how to do is how to allocate a category to a page. I'm probably being dense but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks again

Once you've created some categories they should appear as checkboxes when you create/edit any content page.
Joe
Should this be under the Edit Tab of a page ? If so mine don't seem to have them.
Could you provide a screen shot for where I should expect to see them.
Thanks
Graham
You had defined the types of categories, but no categories within them. I've now added a few so you can see it in action.
You'll see the checkboxes on the Edit tab of pages, and you can go into Content Categories to put your real categories in!
Thanks
Joe
I've reworked my archives section to use categories and I find it a really pleasing way to filter what is a large archive of prior choir concerts. I was using Accordian to make the size of the content more manageable but this didn't work so well when you try to search for content. The search works but by default the Accordian wasn't expanded so you could never find the content you were looking for. The category method works much better.
Thanks again for your help
