   I'm wanting to display the total number of posts within the category on the category template page in the title, so it reads something like:

   There are xx number of posts i the category.

   I tried
   <?php echo $wp_query->post_count ?>
   but that just gives me total number displayed on the page, not the entire category. How can I get just the number of posts in the current category?

   I also need to do the same for my tags.

   Thanks - I need it to use the current category ID. I'm going to be creating a lot of categories on the fly and I don't want to have to crate a new category template for each one.

   Any ideas?
