Description
I was looking over at Andrew Nacin's site earlier and noticed at the end of the post it said "This entry was posted in and tagged my plugins, plugins, Simple Footnotes, WordPress." - Notice that because it's missing a category (I believe?) it kind of looks a little odd (has nothing there) ... so I started looking into the code, and well, came up with a patch (I hope!) that could fix it? I just don't have a local install, or a live install that I could test it on sadly''

- Status changed from new to closed
My site has categories disabled higher up the stack, and I never updated some template overrides that were rendered moot by some reshuffling in Twenty Ten (I think by me, ironically) later in the 3.0 cycle.
A post must always have at least one category, the default category if nothing else. I think a lot of us would love to see it go, but that is an unfortunate reality for now because so many themes (including Twenty Ten, as you identified here) assume a post has at least one category. So, until we decide to change that across the board in a future release, I'm closing as invalid.
You may wish to file a bug report at http://trac.andrewnacin.com :-P
Side note -- you should definitely set up a local install. Well worth the effort especially for someone learning how to write PHP and hack WordPress.

Oh I see, that'd explain all that then!

Fair enough, personally I'd like to see this an option in a future version, sometimes things just don't need a category, but that's best saved for a developer chat!

I might just have to do that...? :D

I will, said that for ages now though, although I do still quite like my patch even if it still is useless, actually knew what I was doing for once! :) *yay me*
typo in the other patch
