  One one of my blog categories, I managed to make the description show up at the top of the category page. I’d like to do that for some of the other categories, but, I can not remember how I did it. This would simply be a paragraph that would always be at the top of the page that explains what that category is. How do I set that up? Thank you.

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

  Hi Michael,

  You can manage those category descriptions by going to your blog’s Dashboard and click on the Posts > Categories menu.

  Looks like this:

  

  On that menu, hover over the Category you’d like to edit, click edit when it appears, and type in your description.

  Best,

  Alex, as I said, I would like for the description to show up at the top of the category page, and right now, they are not. What do I do to make them appear on the page?

  Hi Michael,

  When I visit your site, I all the category descriptions you’ve created appear at the top:

  https://cloudup.com/cN4DgMVR8JC
  https://cloudup.com/cSXzQpmW3ur

  This is really the only space that category descriptions can be displayed.

  The only exception (where a category description exists) is this one. While you’ve created the category and description, there are no posts within that category. The description should appear once there’s a post to display:

  

  Your remaining eight categories just need their descriptions created and saved, then they’ll appear in the same spot below the category title, but above the posts.

  Best,
