Spent all day learning MySQL, database, tables , etc. to begin building my first CMS. I’m building a portfolio CMS and I wanted a few drop down menus. One being a labeled “Work Type” and having options such as Web, Print, Identity, etc.

How would I go about setting up those options in my MySQL database?
