    Hi.

    I'm building out my new site and linking my top menu buttons to specific category archive pages.

    For seo purposes and reader clarity, I'd like to write descriptions covering what these category archive pages are about.

    I wrote up my first one a few minutes ago, but it's not displaying on the archive page: http://renaissancehumans.com/category/fitness-strength/

    Why ideas why?

    On the category page, I notice that there's a "description" box allowing for a great deal of text customization (headlines, font modification, etc). https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ztstd112bfnko0/Screenshot%202016-01-16%2014.57.19.png?dl=0

    Also, there's an "archive intro text" box which I've pasted identical text into: https://www.dropbox.com/s/npkrkwxw71eas7r/Screenshot%202016-01-16%2014.57.36.png?dl=0

    Outside of neither working, why can you modify the text style of the description box but not the archive intro text? Seems bizarre. And why give the description box text controls if it's not meant to be seen?

    Woops. Strange. The only thing I can think of is that the page didn't have enough time..I did hit the refresh button. But oh well. Thanks for looking.

    Ok. So my text is now there, but I still wonder why I can't make it look better with headers and images and such. Will html work in that box? Why aren't the controls there?
