    HI everyone,

    Because of the way I've had to set up my site, I had to use add the blog as a category in order to get it to show up on the nav bar. So, I still want people to see "categories" when they visit the blog.

    WHen the hit the main blog page (which is a category I add posts to) I want the subcategories on the right sidebar area. I;ve found code to do this but the code is supposed to go into the categories.php file. Genesis does not have this file.

    I also read that you can place the code in the archive.php or index.php files. I'm leary of doing this. Has anyone done this or have other suggestions?
