I am currently using post vs pages (just so I can get a reliable category count). I am using the following code and it works great. Gives me a count, list them in alphabetical order and lets me exclude categories.
<?php
wp_list_categories('orderby=name&show_count=1&exclude=3&title_li='); ?>
Now what I want is post to show up in my blog stream / archive stream from one category. I cannot figure it out and am about to use pages instead of post because I cannot figure it out, but if I use pages instead of post I wont get the count that I need.
Any tips?
