 * Hi all,
 * Finally got the template I bought installed and running! WOOHOO! 🙂 Yay me (and
   about 3 other people who helped 😉 So you have it for my questions below, my 
   site is [http://www.corbingrimes.com](http://www.corbingrimes.com)
 * Anyhow – I’m looking to now manipulate some of the sample data and posts, replacign
   them with my own. I figured, bu loading the samepl data in, I’d get a good understandng
   of how to use WordPress – it was a good strategy cause I’m well onmy way! 🙂
 * I’d like to tweak the categories area on the left of this template.
 * 1.) I want to change the lable that reads “Categories” to “Article Categories”
   so as to better describe that this section of my site is dedicated to blog posts/
   articles.
 * 2.) For some reason, I cant get more than the 9 showing to show, even though 
   I have more than this. I’d like to show all categories. What page/code to I edit
   to get it to do this?
 * Thanks everybody! I am having so much fun and I’m happy to be here! 🙂

 * As it’s a commercial theme we don’t have access to, it’s difficult to provide
   exact advice. However for point 1 maybe have a look on your sidebar.php file 
   for that “Categories” text. For point 2, also have a look in your sidebar.php
   file.
 * Glad you’re enjoying WordPress. Good luck

 * Hi thanks for the reply but I didnt see any mention of category control or sysntax
   in any of those files noted above. There doesnt seem to be any type of editable
   syntax in those files to make the changes I noted.

 * If that category section in the sidebar is actually a widget have a look to see
   if you can rename the widget title in the widgets section of WordPress Admin 
   panel – see [http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets)
 * Otherwise if you need to find and edit the text in the actual themes file consider
   using a tool such as Windows Grep to search for text strings in files.
