You can try using the category description function in the archive.php template file. For more info, check this out: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/category_description

If you would like help customizing the theme beyond what is available in the theme options, please use this form: http://www.themolitor.com/customization-quote-request/

Also is there anyway of having the category description for the blogreel show up at the top of the page before the posts?

ok thank you...would this be an easy thing to script in? either for me or for you?

With the way the theme is setup, its primary function is the mapping system. The blog is a secondary feature, so currently only one blog-type category is allowed.

Firstly id like to say how much i love your theme. im completely new to web building (like super new), and ive still found your theme easy to use. alot of the issues ive come across have been due to my own ignorance within this field of creativity but through playing around ive solved them. There is one thing that i have not been able figure out though.
the category that i have set my main blog to be on is Travel Blog (www.a-passage-through-india.com) and it has the scroll-down style blogreel that i wanted however there are a few blogs on other categories that i would like to display in that manner. is this possible to set whether a category will display the blog like a reel or as single post at the footer bar?

thank you
