Oh, awesome! Thank you so much!

I definitely appreciate your help, simchris! When I try to build out the widget, though, I cannot get it to look like the homepage widget. For example- when I try to add categories in the widget, I do not get to pick/choose the category and it’s just random (which will not work for me because I use “series posts”). It seems like I have to add things to widgets using the basic editor…but I’m also not super versed in using sidebars…I honestly thought I was just going to get what they showed in the demo. That would have been nice.
