Hello Leland,Anita,
I hope you guys are fine and doing great.
We have implemented all of the above feedback except *Category Page 2, 3, etc.* section
Its pagination section is implemented fine however to hide other content except recent posts on 2nd,3rd,... pages its remaining we will do that part as well tomorrow.
We added add content on top after first row to be visible at top however we can change its position easily.
Here is link to category where master template is applied
