 * how can I add a link to my header? I’m specifically looking to add a link to 
   one of my categories, but just knowing how to put a HTML link into the header
   list will work for me. Right now it lists the pages and then the RSS feed. Ideally
   I’d like this link to go before the RSS link if I could.

 * Not sure what your category URL is, but if you are using the default permalinks
   it could be something like:
 *     ```
       <a href="http://yourdomain.com/?cat=3">Category 3</a>
       ```
   
 * You can find your category URL by visiting one of your category pages — use the
   Category Widget if you don’t have links to click on.
 * Might also consider this technique:

 * I know how to find my category link, I’m just wondering how to put links (ANY
   links) in my list with this theme… I’ve done it with other themes, but for some
   reason I can’t figure out where/how to edit the header/nav links to include something
   I want…
