Is it possible through Artisteer to have multiple categories displayed on a front page or static page? --- something similar to the theme shown at this site (under Recent Articles) --- http://green-envy.budstechshed.com/mu/

Would it require lots of recoding, or is this something the software can be made to do out of the box?

If possible, how could one do this?

Thanks!

You can show all your categories in sidebar by adding categories widget to sidebar going appearance-> widgets.

Thanks for replying Garry.

I do know how to add a category widget to a sidebar, but what I am wondering about is how to add say four or six categories to the main body of a page with each one an except with a 'read more...' linked to each individual post page.

header

category 1 category 2 sidebar
blah...blah blah...blah block
read more... read more...

category 3 category 4
blah...blah blah...blah
read more... read more...

footer

Does anyone know of a good plugin to do what I am asking?

After a Google search, I found one but it failed to install properly.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

You can display all the categories on a page by using a suitable category template tag from following:
