 * I’m having a rough time with my pagination on category.php pages…
 * I use page.php to display the first 5 posts with the first one larger than the
   rest and there’s a link to /category/page on the bottom which is essentially 
   a read more posts thing… Anyways, my pagination on category pages does not work.
   It doesn’t display anything more than the first 3 pages before it 404s and even
   then it displays the same posts over and over from the same category (features).
