It's several years old, though.

widget itself can only be embedded in the sidebar or footer, not on the actual page itself

There are no themes that I am aware of (I have been here over 7 years) that allow widgets to be embedded into any area other than sidebars or footer areas for widgets.

Go through http://learn.wordpress.com and when you have a specific question, use the search on the Support documents to find your answers, like what is a widget.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=widget

To get rid of Uncategorized, you need to create other categories, then edit the existing posts to give them other categories, so none of them are ONLY using "Uncategorized." Once that's done, you can change your default category to any of the ones you've created and Uncategorized will never appear again.

I think I will be finding a more simple site to use. WordPress is to hard to understand. All I want is a main page to put up a few blogs, cant work out how to get rid of the Uncategorized page and don't understand all the jargon people are saying on how to get rid of it.

I have created categories for my posts and posted two dummy posts with categories ticked, but the categories are not listed in the Category Widget nor the Category Cloud Widget.
I am using Blogum theme which came with the Category Widget. I switched to trying out the Category Cloud Widget, and both the Category Cloud Widget and Category Widget do not show the categories from the two posts that I have posted.

Help?...

Tags only allow the 45 most used ones. I was able to show all categories on my blog, but the list is very long, so I am trying the Category Cloud widget. This can show up to 99. I'd still prefer all, but I like how it takes up less space.

On the widget form, there is a space to Exclude categories. Under this is the statement: "Category IDs, separated by commas."

I want to try and exclude some of the categories to show the ones I feel are more important. I checked my blog after saving the widget and the excluded categories are showing up. Does this mean Category IDs are something other than their names?

Or am I misunderstanding the Exclude option and the categories typed in are not hidden?

Thank you so much for your help.

But only the categories assigned to published posts will show up.

But the discussion here is pointless, as you're using a premium theme: you should ask at the forum for premium theme users.
