How do I list category name? Forgive the simplicity of this question but I am in the early stages of my first Craft implementation.

My simple question is: how do I display a category name in a template. This is the code I am using:

{% for entry in craft.entries.find({section: 'blog', limit: '3'}) %}
    &lt;div class="article"&gt;
        &lt;p class="category"&gt;{{ entry.blogCategory }}&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;a href="{{ entry.url }}" class="headline"&gt;{{ entry.title }}&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
{% endfor %}


The error I am getting says "Object of class Craft\ElementCriteriaModel could not be converted to string"

Any help is appreciated.
An ElementCriteriaModel is "used to fetch elements with a given set of parameters." {{ entry.blogCategory }} hasn't yet fetched your category element.

You need:

&lt;p class="category"&gt;{{ entry.blogCategory.first }}&lt;/p&gt;


if you are positive there is exactly one of them, or more generally:

{% for c in entry.blogCategory %}
  &lt;p class="category"&gt;{{ c }}&lt;/p&gt;
{% endfor %}
