 * I guess it depends the number of posts.. maybe a good idea to cache the variables
   and time updates? It’d just be a select + count really.. unless you’re hosting
   more entries than something like a slashdot, I can’t see it being too much of
   a hit..
    My aim was for people who wanted to use a “blog like interface” to having
   categories (where it’s more of an informative site) Right now, the only code 
   I’ve seen do this is a full blown thing like nuke/geeklog which has way too much
   there for something as simple and down to the point as wordpress. If anything,
   it could just be a separate layout for people looking to this (I’ve just seen
   a few popular sites that do this with generally a lot of hits. The whole backend
   is of a blog type but displays entries on a basis of categories because it’s 
   for people searching for articles on a certain thing and not logging every second
   of their life..

 * Well,
    I’ve seen some custom blog scripts that do this (custom meaning their 
   own code or generally big sites) and if you’re doing more content writing (than
   entries by time) combining the power of an awesome script like this with that
   was my intent.. You would go to a front page and have things like: (mind this
   is as good as I can do with text) General (#Posts) News(#) Technology(#) etc 
   And maybe have a few one liners at the bottom as far as news..
