 * Ok well I recently started using a dynamic sidebar, but it’s not widgetized.
 * Sorry if this sounds stupid/or has already been discussed, but I really need 
   to figure this out >_<!
    Ok well, I’ve made different sidebars for my three main
   categories (and other main files home/single/page etc) but whenever I post on
   my homepage what ever the post is categorized as appears under the home sidebar..
   Which I don’t want. Is there any kind of exclude code? `<?php } ?> or <?php endif;?
   >` don’t appear to be stopping anything.
 * My apologies if this is totally stupid !

 * If I had to guess, it sounds like you have some PHP in your sidebar listing categories.
   Look for something similar to this in your sidebars source code:
 * `<?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>`
 * If you can’t find anything like this, seeing your code would help track down 
   where the problem is coming from, also a URL to your site.

 * My home sidebar doesn’t contain any category include code, but because I have
   set sidebars for my categories they show up on my homepage when I post something
   relevant to said category.
