 * Any special trick to using the exclude and include fields on the category 1 editor
   form. It comes up an error “Error: Widget “Categories #1″ categories listed in
   include field are not valid. No categories are selected!” I have tried typing
   it with capslock on and off, but i keep getting this error.

 * You need to use the category identifiers, the numbers, not the category names
   or slugs. You need separate them by a comma with no space. i.e. “1,2,3” is valid
   but “my_category,Cat X,” is not.
