  Hi there forum…i’m wishing to have a sidebar widget that acts as a table of contents for the posts in that category, that will list the posts in the given category…on my blog at yoowho.wordpress.com , i have posts in categories such as clown, sacred clown, clown + zen….right now the viewer has to scroll down the page to find the different posts and has little way of knowing what might be there…searching the available widgets for wordpress.com, i don’t see anything that might work so that each category might have it’s own widget/table of contents…I see in wordpress.org plenty of possibilities but not in the wordpress.com…i’m looking for suggestions, thanks. Yoowho

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

  Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.

  after investigating, the visibility button isn’t very helpful, only allows which categories displayed….category won’t list the posts, just a listing of categories-which is what the nav menu already does….
