I don’t know what the error looks like, but it seems to me that a  
command which fetches something from your blog, should present you  
with an error, if it could not connect to that blog, rather than  
gracefully degrade. I.e. if it cannot connect to the blog, something  
is wrong, and the user should be told.

The performance would likely be proportional to the speed of your  
network connection. Since creating a “Category:” snippet is trivial,  
I think we should leave that to users who for some reason finds  
fetching their categories too slow and/or do not have enough  
categories to need to fetch the list.
