    1.)
    Everything you post in P2 is a "Blog Post" - the only difference between a "status update" and "blog post" is that the latter has a title, status updates don't. But they're still normal posts.

    2.)
    If you'd like to post everything in one certain category, create said category and make it the "default category" (under Settings - Writing).

    3.)
    Since you can't generate categories from the front page with P2, you wouldn't have "recent" categories anyway (which is why we have tags and the "recent tags" widget). To display categories in your sidebar, try the categories widget (under Appearance - Widgets)

    Hope this helps ;-)

    I'd also like to switch it so the blog post option is the first or default. I understand that everything is technically a post, but I'd like to encourage people to enter a custom title.

    Anyone know where I might look and what code I would change/update to do this?

    EDIT: after posting this, I found these two threads, both discussing this:
