 * I looked at my site again now and see that the categories are repeating a number
   of times, not just 3. I also looked through all the files and cannot find anything
   that I could connect to the categories. If you tell me what to look for, maybe
   I can post the code here . .
 * Thanks for your patience and continued help.

 * That is part of the problem – I get this error on validating the page but don’t
   see it in the web page i.e. I can find “filed under Customer Service” in the 
   code, but it doesn’t appear on the page itself.
 * I also noticed that the Categories are still repeating, but less than before.
 * I am not sure how to find out which version I am using – at the bottom of the
   pages it says 2.1 – 0.38 seconds – does that mean version 2.1?

 * I did validate my page and made some changes in the code, however I am still 
   getting an error and can’t figure out where to fix it.
    The errors are:
 * > # Error Line 276 column 136: document type does not allow element “ul” here;
   > missing one of “object”, “applet”, “map”, “iframe”, “button”, “ins”, “del” 
   > start-tag.
   > …sts filed under Customer Service”>
   >  - The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you’ve
   >    placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both 
   >    allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that
   >    you need a containing element, or possibly that you’ve forgotten to close
   >    a previous element.

 * I edited the CSS file to change the margins on the posts. I fiddled with the 
   theme I had before this one but didn’t think that would make any difference with
   a new theme.
 * In the Sidebar I column, I have Calendar, Archives, Categories, Recent Comments.
   When I click on each one, nothing is checked or filled in on the windows that
   come up.
 * Thanks for the reply.
