There is nothing at that link.
Thanks. You’re right. URL ParkPaseoHOA.slipbits.com/wp
I think I understand how to express myself better. I have two Post widgets (cat1 and cat2) and two categories (cat1 and cat2). In my posts, post1 has cat1 and post2 has cat2, but on the page, both widgets have the same posts. I don’t know how to associate <post, category> to a widget.

I only see a single “Posts” widget, organized as a drop-down by category.

Sorry. I changed it this morning (2:00AM) out of frustration.
Previously I had two post widgets (Appearance->Widgets->Recent Posts). I was unable to associate a post widget with a category so all posts went to both widgets. I got frustrated and changed it all to Appearance->Widgets->Categories. The tag line is “a list or dropdown of categories”. What I’m hoping is that this turns into a dropdown of categories and clicking on the category will get a list or dropdown of posts in that category. So far there are two categories and one post in each category. Clicking on the category in the dropdown gets me to that single post. I hope that this behavior changes the way I want.
What I initially set to do was to have each category separately listed with recent items in each category listed underneath. I have been unsuccessful in this.
I am a strict newbie. I’m trying to get up to speed by reading and asking. Thank you for answering. I hope that you can help.

I see what you’re after now.
You can always untick the “Display as Dropdown” box in the category widget to get a flat list.
Alternately, you can use a text widget and simply add the links manually:
<p><a href="http://parkpaseohoa.slipbits.com/wp/category/reports/">Park Paseo HOA Reports</a></p>
<p><a href="http://parkpaseohoa.slipbits.com/wp/category/forum/">Forum</a></p>
Sigh. Thanks. I unticked the “Display as Dropdown”. The option looks, and appears to act, like the Appearance->Widget->Recent Posts. Since there is only one Park Paseo post at the moment, this behavior may change when more are added. I suspect that I’m going to have to insert hypertext and call it a bad day.
But thanks. If there’s anything else that I have know then write on. But if not, go on.

Now I see what you’re after. Maybe this plugin will help?

It has a lot of options, so you refine it as you like. You’ll just need an instance of it for each category. 🙂
