 * My website is [http://FirstMainOnline.com](http://FirstMainOnline.com). I have
   added categories (7 of them), but they do not show up on the home page. With 
   the current theme I have activated it says “no categories” under the Categories
   heading. When I activate other themes the categories don’t show up there either.
   I added the categories using the add category button, so I believe they should
   be visible.

 * Categories won’t show up unless there are posts in them. Have you added posts
   to the categories?
