Category widgets on home page?
-
I’m a completely ignorant technophobe and I want to separate my blog posts by categories. After 49 minutes of struggle it has become apparent that I do this by category widgets. I have made my category widgets but I don’t think that they appear to my viewers when they click on my page? How do I make these category widgets part of my home page so that if people want to read my entries about ‘sex’ they click on ‘sex’ or feminism ‘feminism’ ect.

I reported your blog to Staff as a mature content site.
From the TOS http://en.wordpress.com/tos/
Please don’t:
•Post explicit sexual materials that can be considered pornographic, such as explicit images or video of sexual acts or close-up images of genitalia;
•Post links or banner ads to adult-oriented affiliate networks, such as pornography site signups;
•Post links, text, or images promoting or advertising escort services;
•Post images of extreme violence or gore without associated context or commentary;
•Post images of child pornography;
•Post content that promotes pedophilia, such as blogs with galleries of images of children where the images, content surrounding the images, or the intent of the blog is sexually suggestive.There is no warning notice page provided here. You crate a static front page and post one of your own making on it.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/For details re: mature content blogs.

Please read this first Post vs. Page http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(1) There is only one page we can post to in any blog.
(2) The static pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ we bloggers create do not automatically update.Only the dynamic pages like Archives, Categories and Tags created by the software when we publish a post will update automatically update with new posts.
By default the front page of the blog is the Page that displays all posts in your blog. You can create a static front page and have your published posts display on another page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/ but doing that does not change what follows.
Though there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page, we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
This guide will walk you through how to create category pages for your blog, to display groupings of similar posts on pages other than your front page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/
Create a custom menu

Add dynamic categories and sub-categories pages to it

Create order and sub-menus (dropdowns)
http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menusThere are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well. Here is more information:

Hi there,
In reviewing your site, I see you have added category pages to your menu, which is the best way to let your readers see your posts sorted that way.Do you have any additional questions?

This is what I saw on the blog:
•explicit sexual materials that can be considered pornographic, such as explicit images or video of sexual acts or close-up images of genitalia;
And that’s not allowed. http://en.wordpress.com/tos/ It’s Terms of Service violation. You can confirm what I saw in Google’s cache. -
Since this issue has been resolved and we don’t discuss TOS issues in the forum, I’m going to close this thread. If you have any more questions, feel free to open a new support request.
