    I would like to do two, related things, to my blog page.

    1) I'd like to format my Categories so they look like the Tags at the bottom of my blog posts.
    [Ex: Category 1, Category 2, etc.].

    2) If possible I would like to have the Categories show up above the Tags line, so they look like this:

    Categories: Site Management, Writing
    Tags: Goals, Publishing, Rules of Writing

    Thanks again,
    Jessie

    PS: Is there anywhere I can donate to help support your work? Your support has been phenomenal.

    Hello,

    1. For your first issue

    Download WP Category Tag Cloud plugin from WordPress.org and upload it.
    http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-category-tag-could/

    It will fulfil your requirements.

    2. For your second issue

    Go to single.php present in your theme directory and add the code given below

    Code:
      <?php the_category(', '); ?><br>
    Check image for reference

    Gourav,

    Half way there! Step Two worked perfectly, but after installing the plugin, I'm still trying to figure out how to get the list to start with "Categories:".
    Any further suggestions?

    Hello,

    It is not possible to add tags of category that you want in blog page, but by using that plugin you can add the category cloud in your sidebar widget area.


    Thanks & Regards

    Gourav,

    It took a bit of tinkering in the editor, but I was able to get the look/layout I desired. See the attached image.
    The only other alteration I'd make, is to change the roll over link colors for tags and categories.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,

    We have checked your website and it seems that you have already change the hover color by yourself.

    Gourav,

    Fantastic! I must've needed to wait for my service provider's cache to flush. Thank you for checking.
    On a related note, do you know how to change the font for Categories and Tags?
