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!
