What I had to do was go to a different post other than the home post and it would register the changes on all the pages (strange).

You beat me to it before I managed to say that I'd resolved it but I didn't know about the category and tag duplicate problem so thanks for pointing it out to me. I have some duplicates so I think that could have added to another of my problems earlier.

Thanks!

A note on categories and tags: they are the same pool of data, so there's absolutely no point using the same word or phrase as both a category and a tag, plus you'll run into technical problems when you do that.

I have just discovered, from looking at someone else's blog using this theme, that I can place a categories menu at the top or side bar. So, I've added the categories widget to my blog, saved it and checked the site. Nothing has changed. I've even tried to create a custom menu for categories to see if that makes any difference, but still I am not seeing anything come up on my blog. Any ideas why it isn't working?

Thanks for any input!
