Hi guys, thank you for your responses.
Blaize – I went to the options > writing panel like you suggested and set my default category to the one I wanted. However back in my categories list I still have TWO defaults now. o_o
DianeV – No one else is supposed to have access to my blog admin panel. I’m worried as well…
I guess I’ll just deal w/ it since the phantom category won’t appear on my blog until I add posts to it (which I won’t).
