  Is it possible to have links for my categories along the top bar of my page? I am a photographer and I would like for example to have “Newborns” as an option on the top and then when viewers click it takes them to all of the posts I have done about newborns. Is that possible? I have the category clous on the sidebar but I was wondering if there was an option to go along the top bar. Thanks for your help!

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

  There is a little trick described here:

  You can’t put up links to your categories on the top of the page. However, you could create pages for your major categories, include your favorite pics on these pages, and provide a link to the posts in that category at the bottom of each page. It’ll be like giving visitors a preview of each category. Should solve your purpose.

  Happy blogging, and clicking.

  In some themes you can put links in the header.

  Vigilance is one theme that will work. All ericamayphotography has to do is write links to her category pages and put them into the header as explained in the link I provided.

  Your method would also work.

  You are welcome!
  Even though it won’t work in some themes, it is handy to know!
