I created two catagorys and when I created them I also added the descriptions for each, now when I go to the home page
three 3 boxs over to the bottom left the top one has the catagorys with out the descriptions the other two are just blank
how ever when I click browse then I see descriptions to the catagory.
How do I get the descriptions to the catagorys to appear on the home page if possible?
What are the other two boxs for ?
Also when ever you are editing a panel I keep seeing a rating 1-4
what is that for?

The descriptions generally only show up on the category page and not on the home page... although I guess there might be something in the variables.php that would allow the descriptions to show.
I'm not sure what you mean by the question about two boxes.
As for panels, the admin manual has this to say (but it doesn't really explain what the other levels are):
The panel level is used to determine who has access to that panel. This is most applicable to the admin and member account panels. In the admin panels the level is the admin level required to access the panel. In the member account panels, it is used to determine whether or not the visitor must be logged in to see the panel. 0 is for visitor access (registration, lost password, login) and 1 is for member access (everything else).

Mucking around in eFiction since circa 2001 (ver. 1.0)
Now running v.3
Generally, don't change the access levels in the panels.
Ok as far as the boxs or panels go on the home page The first one is for catagorys but what are the other two for
please see screen shot

The other two boxes are for blocks that you haven't activated yet. If that's the default CSS Zen then they're the Shoutbox and the Poll block. If you would like to use them, you can activate them in Admin > Blocks. Otherwise, you can edit them out of the skin. The wiki has a lot of documentation on skinning.
You can get the category descriptions to appear in categories block. See here: http://www.dracoandginny.com/index.php?skin=BWSnitch. Sometimes you can edit this in Admin > Blocks, then Options for the Categories block, but in this case the skin has a variables.php. Edit the variables.php for CSS Zen. The third line looks like this.
$blocks["categories"]["template"] = "{image} {link} [{count}]";
You'll want to change it to something this.
$blocks["categories"]["template"] = "{image} {link} [{count}] /n<div>{description}</div>";
Note: Haven't actually tried this in variables.php.
The other option is to remove that line entirely from variables.php, and then make sure the box in the options for Category block contains the following:
{image} {link} [{count}]
<div>{description}</div>
Also make sure it's set to "default" and not "use .tpl".
Thank you that explans what the other boxs are for.
