  I want to display categories at the top of my wordpress.com “Mystique” page? I also have a blog “Time and Place” (theme: Traction) where that is done…with About me in the upper right hand corner. How can I duplicate this with “Today X 365” (theme: Mystique?
  Thank you.

  Hi there, to get categories in your navigation bar you can head over to Appearance > Menus, and add categories to your custom menu. We have a guide for that here:

  Be sure to assign your custom menu to your Primary Menu location to activate it:

  If you need further help, just let me know.

  You are a genius … I fumbled all over with those categories and never hit the right thing. You gave me just the info I needed and all is well. Categories across the top and getting all 80+ posts categorized. Thanks so much. Marjorie
