Hi again,
In the Dusk template set, to have the category images that run across the top right of the page remain static and be arranged in the order you want, you can hardcode the templates/headlines/default.html template or you could publish the categories images in the order you prefer and then turn off publishing for the Global Headlines in the Setup Options (the easy method) 
So I will describe the easy method first. Since the category images (on the top right) are based on the order of the latest articles, here is the steps:
1. Modify your articles by date to be in the category image order you prefer. For example, your first article would be from the Work category followed by the Life category, Balance, Picture and Links.
2. Now the category images in the top right should reflect this order of categories.
3. Next, go to the Setup Options under the Server tab and uncheck the publish box for the Global Headlines. By not publishing the Global Headlines, the category images (on the top right) won't change to reflect the latest articles.
And that's it. In the future, if you decide to change the category image order or add another category image you will need to check the Global Headlines publish checkbox and go through the same steps above.
Now, if you prefer to hardcode the headlines template (templates/headlines/default.html), here is the steps:
First, make a backup of your templates/headlines/default.html template so you can go back to it if you need to.
Next, it is important note is that even though you will no longer be using the template:cells in the template, they have to remain or you will receive an error message when Article Manager can't locate them.
1. Download a copy of the templates/headlines/default.html template.
2. With a text editor, add in the hardcoded links your categories and the category images for each.
Example:
<td><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/artman/publish/cat_index_1.shtml"><img src="http://www.yoursite.com/artman/images/categoryimagename.gif" height= width= alt="Category Name"></a></td>
3. Next remove the html between the template:cell tags but leave all the template cells.
Example:
<!-- templatecell : row -->
<!-- /templatecell : row -->
4. Re-upload the template back to your site. And login to Article Manager and click the Publish All button.
The category images on the top should now appear in order you modified in the template.
Let me know if this helps.
