  I tried to originate two categories and as you can see, they both came out the same thing. One was for “Success Stories” and one was for “View Adoptable Dogs.” However, they both now say “Success Stories” and link to the same page.

  What’d I do … wrong?

  Thanks for any suggestions.

  Oh wait … is it because I haven’t yet populated “View Adoptable Dogs”?

  Arghhhh.

  No, it’s because the Categories widget displays all your “populated” categories, so there’s no point in adding it twice. It’s title should be “Categories”, “Topics” or whatever else you see fit, not any actual categoy.

  Wincing … of course. Thanks very much. When the Search option is available again, I hope to be able to answer my own dumb questions and save the hard ones for you guys.

  It wasn’t a dumb question – the widget itself is misleading: it shouldn’t be available again once you have activated it. That would be reasonable if you could include some of the categories in each instance of it (create categories of categories, so to speak), the way you can do with the Pages widget.
