Well, I talked about hiding categories one the homepage earlier here and here and it took no more then 5 minutes to fix. I had originally dreaded thinking about it since I thought the process would include manually modifying my theme but with a 2 second search on Google I found the solution. Category Visibility Plugin solves all my problems easily and with a few more usable features like hiding posts from non-registered users. Maybe I’ll request an option to hide posts for registered users to handle the review-me posts.
Hopefully the tweet digests won’t overwhelm your visit now. They’ll still show in RSS which I prefer.
