  I have just set up my blog today (linked to my username), and have a friend as a guest author. The title of the blog and the URL is Love Hate Like Adore. I have, Love Hate Like Adore as Categories, but they show alphabetically in my side bar widget. Is there a way for me to change the order of them? I really want them to show as Love Hate Like Adore, in that order. Thanks.

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

  Go to Appearance > Menus, create a custom menu, tick your categories in the Categories module and click Add to Menu, drag them to rearrange their order, save the menu, select it from the Theme Locations pulldown, save.
  Then go to Appearance > Widgets, remove the Categories widget, add a Custom Menu widget.

  I did it and it worked (i think!), but now i also have the categories at the top of my blog aswell. Is that meant to happen?

  Sorry, I made a mistake above: go to Appearance > Menus, select the blank option from the Theme Locations pulldown, save.
