i though it would be there by default, but nope. not there.

I tried adding <h1>Category: %category%</h1> to KICKER: Multi Post Pages but it added it to the top of every article on my category page.

I'd like to do the same thing for tag pages as well.

I went with this in my index.php file but i'd rather not hack core. is there a better solution?

<?php # error_reporting(-1);
list($bfa_ata, $cols, $left_col, $left_col2, $right_col, $right_col2, $bfa_ata['h_blogtitle'], $bfa_ata['h_posttitle']) = bfa_get_options();
get_header(); 
extract($bfa_ata); 

?>
<?php if ( is_category() ) { ?><h3 style="margin: 0.2em 0;">Category: <?php single_cat_title(''); ?></h3><?php } ?>
<?php if ( is_tag() ) { ?><h3 style="margin: 0.2em 0;">Tag: <?php single_tag_title(''); ?></h3><?php } ?>

just add that to ato->Style & edit CENTER COLUMN->Content ABOVE the LOOP

if( is_category() ) { ?><h3 style="margin: 0.2em 0;">Category: <?php single_cat_title(''); ?></h3><?php };

Dang. SO obvious now. Thank you!
