 * Thank you. Found the code below. What do I need to modify for the ‘promos’ category?
 *     ```
       function twentyeleven_continue_reading_link() {
       	return ' <a href="events.php">' . __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyeleven' ) . '</a>';
       }
       ```

 * The live site functions properly, irrespective of the them on which it is based.
   The mod I am trying to make is based on the existing structure.

 * The live site <[http://www.ahy4life.com/events.php&gt](http://www.ahy4life.com/events.php&gt);
   functions properly with only one category. Not sure how theme template plays 
   a role at this point, but I it is “Twenty Eleven.”

 * Why, then, do I only see ‘Please visit later.” This is the code the site is using
   presently. Would mod’g this be a better way to go?

 * Can’t get it to quite work. I admit I am a bit of a novice with WP.
    Is there
   not a way to simply specify the category in the existing code?

 * Alright, I am trying to start fresh using the_excerpt and the_title using the
   code below. But there is a “0” that keeps appearing. How can I fix this?
 * ‘
    <?php $category = get_the_category(); echo $category[5]->event-long_description;?

 * Yeah, I think the protest is censoring this willy-nilly. Time to end censorship.
   Thanks again for the hand.
