 * I just installed the “Magazine Basic” theme and would like to get rid of the “
   music” category listed below the header. It’s the only category I have and when
   I go to the “categories” area in the dashboard, there isn’t an option to delete
   it, as it’s the only category.
    In fact, there’s text that says, “Deleting a 
   category does not delete the posts in that category. Instead, posts that were
   only assigned to the deleted category are set to the category Music.” It’s a 
   visual thing. I want to eliminate it. Suggestions?

 * I think you should look at header.php of your theme, there must be
 * wp_list_categories();
 * this code outputs list of categories, so if you don’t want category listing on
   your web you should remove it.

 * In the latest version, you can use the new WordPress 3.0 menu system. It is under
   the Appearance panel in the admin.
