 * there seems to be nothing wrong with the code of index.php; however, this problem
   could be caused by the code of the ‘cover story’ section;
 * can you paste this as well?

 * edit home.php, find: (line 84)
 * `<?php query_posts('cat=1'); ?>`
 * change to:
 *     ```
       <?php global $query_string; query_posts($query_string . '&cat=1'); ?>
       ```
   
 * changes are similar to: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#Usage_Note](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts#Usage_Note)
