Yes – as I looked more deeply into this, I believe it is the Advanced Custom Fields plugin that I updated.
Each of the post categories are associated with a Custom Field – one of which is Page Link. I have inherited this website, so I’m not very familiar with a lot of the modifications that have been done to it.
Thanks for your response.

I was not clear on my question – the problem was that when I added text to the body of the homepage it would not lengthen to fit the new text – all other pages do.

I found 4 settings in the style.css file that had a height property of 290px.
Increasing all of them fixed the problem.

Thanks for your response.

Wow – I’m such a newbie that I missed the new entry on the Appearance->Widget page.
I’m now using the shortcode anyway.
Thanks for your patience.
Now I’m wrestling with the WP formatting and placement

I believe it does (twenty ten theme). I’m trying to add it to the Secondary Widget area which already has some content.
