Hi Dave - I have had several themes included in "categoties" using the
following:
<Meta
name="categories">animals,environment,sports,destinations,abstract,trendy,fun</
Meta>

Just choose the categories that best suit your theme and leave the
rest out.
Example: <Meta name="categories">environment,sports</Meta>

Try again!
Patti
