    I have two questions.

    This is my website: Alex Koo Blog

    FIRST QUESTION:
    I would like to indicate what type of post (i.e. category) my articles are, whether book reviews, interviews, or regular articles. I am using a studiopress theme with the Genesis featured post widget on my home page.

    I have articles displayed as I publish them, drawing from the separate categories mentioned above. However, I would like to publish the post without having to indicate what type of post is in the title itself.

    I found the shortcode reference for this: [post_categories]. However, when I use it, it automatically includes the text "Filed Under" preceding the categories. How can I alter this? I can't seem to find it.

    SECOND QUESTION:
    My second question is this: Is there a way to have the Genesis Featured Post widget include multiple categories, and if so how? At the moment, as I customize my site, I can only select one category for the widget to draw posts from. To work around this, I've made a general category called "Articles" as well as the specific categories ("Book reviews, Giveaways, etc.") and include each post I make in both the General Category and its respective specific Category. That way, all my posts show up on the main widget, while also belonging to their own categories.

    This is problematic because if I do manage to resolve the first question (with your help), all the articles will display both categories -- both "General Article" and "Book Review", listed under a Book Review Post.

    If I could find a way to include multiple categories for the Genesis Post widget to display, I could make this work.

    Any tips? Advice?

    Thanks so much,
    Alex
