 * I’ve written a little script to “draw” random category maps according to the 
   number of posts you have in each category. Just something intended to be useless&
   pretty 🙂

 * Yup – I would love to re-cat, but with ~600 posts … bit of a long job !

 * I used to run this on a previous setup then left it behind on one of the many
   re-installs that happen along the way.
 * I just tried to get it up and running again but having problems. Is there anyone
   now using it with 1.5 who can tell me what I may need to do to get it working?
 * Thanks for any assistance 🙂

 * [@angus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angus/): refreshing doesn’t seem
   to change the colour as it does for Podz.
 * [@shadow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shadow/): it should run without
   any editing as far as I can tell

 * This may be Jinsan – but just isn’t happening. I keep receiving errors such as
   
   Warning: main(../wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or 
   directory in /home/*****/public_html/shadows/wordpress-category-map.php on line
   5
 * Warning: main(../wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or

 * Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path
   =’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/*****/public_html/shadows/wordpress-

 * have you tried using an absolute rather than relative path?

 * I hadn’t done so, but I have now – and it works!
    Thanks for the suggestion Jinsan.
