    How do I exclude a post category from appearing on my blog? I used the name of the category (Home) and the slug (Home-2) but they don't work at http://21daysoftakingaction.com/

    Go to the Genesis Settings, scroll down and look for Category and put the Category ID of those in there.

    Update: It's actually under Blog Page - Exclude the following Category IDs.

    Thanks for responding but I guess I don't know what the "Category ID" is. The category is "Home"; the slug is "home-2" and I typed both of them into the field "Exclude the following Category IDs:" but the post still shows.  What am I going wrong?

    Go to the Categories - and Hover over them and look at the bottom left or right corners of your screen. That's the one pet peeve I have with WP is that they don't show the actual category, page or post ID numbers automatically.
