  I want to know which widget I would use if I wanted to place all my articles under one heading. I tried it with the CATEGORIES widget, but once I added a second CATEGORY widget, it automatically posts to the second CATEGORY widget. I hope that makes sense! I just want to file my articles into 3 categories: Home Business Comaparisons, Home Business Training, and Stay At Home Mom’s

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

  All widgets do is display data. The data the Categories widgets display is the same in every widget; they are clones.

  There are two places to enter Categories.
  (1) Assign them “on the fly” to the posts themselves and add new ones as required.
  (2) Or enter them in advance here > Dashboard > Categories while understanding that unless and until the specific category is assigned to a published post it will not display in the Categories widget.

  Will you please remove the link to your Blogger (blogspot) blog from your wordpress.com username and instead link to your wordpress.com blog? This forum is only for providing support to wordpress.com bloggers and it’s confusing when bloggers have anything other than their wordpresss.com blog linked to their wordpress.com username.

  Also as you are accustomed to Blogger (blogspot) you will need to read some sections here in our support documentation:
  types of blogs allowed and not allowed http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
  advertising http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
  wordpress.com vs wordpress.org http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
