The archive page had a function to count the number of categories. Well as you know, Wordpress 2.3 redefined the categories table and merged all that info with the tag tables. So, I was counting fields in a table that no longer existed. I changed the table referenced and the error went away. However, the count is now wrong. I browsed through the database table and it looks like it is also counting the link categories I use for my Blogroll as well as any categories without posts assigned to them. Oh well, that's a concern for another time ;) I wanted to take another quick look at my code before sending it to you and I was able to find the problem.

I'll send you a zipped copy of my archive file a later...I'll warn you its totally screwed up. I've been wanting to rewrite a ton of the code on this site for a long time I just haven't done it. Right now, the theme is a very hacked version of Unsleepable and K2. I haven't started using tags yet. I actually used the Ultimate Tag Warrior 3 plugin for a long time and decided to not install it when I did a <a href="http://www.mandladventures.com/2007/08/26/wordpress-upgrade-progress/" rel="nofollow">complete reinstall</a> a while back. I'm sure I'll start using tags now that it's actually a built-in feature of Wordpress. Do you have any ideas on what's wrong with my RSS feed? Its by far my biggest annoyance as I've spent considerable time trying to fix it. Thanks for the offer to look at my code.

Hopefully it's a simple issue to resolve. Have you started using Tags yet? That's my favorite new feature of 2.3. Send me your archive file (zipped) and I can check it out for ya if you’d like.
