 * My blog host recently converted to wordpress and now I have categories.
 * I’ve never used categories before and thought I wouldn’t bother, but every new
   post I create adds the category “1” and though I’ve deleted it at least 20 times
   now, it continues to automatically create and appear.
 * I end up going back into my post and removing the category tag and then updating.
 * Why is it doing this and how do stop it???
