  I would like to have my Category Names displayed at the top of blog – on a navigation bar, similar to Pages.
  Do all themes do this? Or is it specific ones and if so, which themes do it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. The only theme that does what you’re asking automatically is called Enterprise. One bar for pages, another bar below for your top 10 categories.

  But, on virtually every theme, you can create a custom menu which could include a mix of pages, categories or whatever you’d like:

  Thanks so much!! The custom menu works perfectly, I’ve managed to combine both my pages and my categories.
  However, next related issue – how can you have a static paragraph at the top of the Category page? E.g an intro paragraph to that category?
  Thanks so much for your help.

  I’m sorry but you can’t.

  Figured as much as tried entering a description into the category, but it was coming up on the blog.
  Thanks for your quick reply.
